Fondren v. State

URBIGKIT, Justice.

This is a denied post-conviction-relief petition now presented after initial trial-court conviction of second-degree murder and appeal denial. A request for counsél to assist petitioner in the trial-court post-conviction proceeding was denied, although thereafter granted by this court for the appeal process.
