Lunce, Reynolds v. State

Indiana Supreme Court

Decided October 18, 1954No. 29,135PublishedCited by 10 opinions

1Opinion of the CourtFlanagan, C. J.

Appellants were charged with the offense of robbery as defined by Burns’ 1942 Replacement, §10-4101. They were found guilty by a jury.

The only question presented to us is whether due process of law was denied appellants because they were represented by incompetent counsel. Reliance for reversal is placed upon the decision in Wilson v. State (1943), 222 Ind. 63, 51 N. E. 2d 848.

The case of Wilson v. State should be read in the light of its own factual background. It should not be used as an excuse to ask this court to review the wisdom of the strategy of each lawyer who tries a law suit.
