Williams v. State

Court of Appeals of Mississippi

Decided June 26, 2012No. 2011-CA-00458-COAPublishedCited by 4 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

RUSSELL, J„

for the Court:

¶ 1. Tytus Williams appeals the Hinds County Circuit Court’s order denying his motion for post-conviction relief (PCR). Williams raises three issues for review, which we restate for clarity: (1) whether the circuit court erred in denying his PCR motion without an evidentiary hearing; (2) whether the circuit court erred in denying his PCR motion without informing him of the minimum sentence for manslaughter; and (3) whether he received ineffective assistance of counsel. Finding no reversible error, we affirm the circuit court’s denial of Williams’s PCR motion.
