Description

This is an appeal from a denial of post conviction relief. The petitioner was convicted of second degree murder in April of 1964, and his conviction was affirmed by this Court. Wynn v. State, (1966) 247 Ind. 247, 214 N.E.2d 644. The petition for post conviction relief was denied, and a motion to correct errors overruled. This appeal presents the single issue of whether or not the court erred, as a matter of law, in finding that the petitioner had failed to prove his claim of incompetent and ineffective counsel. The claim of the petitioner was supported by his testimony that his trial counsel failed to subpoena two persons whose names the petitioner had supplied, that counsel conferred with him but five or six times for a total of about one hour, failed to interview one of the State's witnesses and failed to object to improper and prejudicial remarks made by the prosecuting attorney in his closing argument.
