Johnson v. State
Supreme Court of Kansas

1Opinion of the Court
The opinion of the court was delivered by
Prager, J.:
This is a proceeding brought pursuant to K.S.A. 60-1507 to set aside a conviction of the petitioner, Wayne E. Johnson, for the crime of first-degree murder (K.S.A. 21-3401). The basis for the petition is that the petitioner was denied his constitutional right to the effective assistance of counsel. Following his conviction in February of 1976, Johnson took a direct appeal to this court and his conviction was affirmed in State v. Johnson, 222 Kan. 465, 565 P.2d 993 (1977). The direct appeal did not raise the issue of inadequacy of counsel.
