Thomas v. State

HOBSON, Judge.

The appellant has appealed an order denying his second motion under Criminal Procedure Rule 1.850 (formerly Criminal Procedure Rule 1), 33 F.S.A. Appellant alleges that his second motion raises grounds for relief which are substantially different from those raised in his first motion.

Appellant’s second motion alleges that he was coerced into confessing; that his appointed counsel was inadequate; that he was insane because of fear and that he was in jail at the time of the offense for which he was convicted.
