Howland v. State

GIVAN, Chief Justice.

Appellant and a co-defendant were charged by way of information with one count of Armed Robbery. Later the information was amended, adding a count of habitual offender. Eventually appellant pleaded guilty to robbery and carrying a handgun without a license as part of a plea bargain agreement. He was sentenced to concurrent terms of imprisonment of twenty (20) and four (4) years. The plea was entered on July 10, 1980.

On December 9, 1980, appellant filed a petition for post-conviction relief, which was later amended. The petition was denied by the post-conviction court.
