Chum v. State

Appellant was found guilty of two counts of felony assault with a dangerous weapon, conspiracy to commit assault with a dangerous weapon, and other offenses. Appellant filed a pro se application for postconviction relief, arguing that he received ineffective assistance of trial counsel. The trial justice denied postconviction relief. On appeal, Appellant argued that deficiencies on the part of trial counsel prejudiced him in his trial and conviction. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that Appellant failed to meet his burden of establishing ineffective assistance of counsel entitling him to postconviction relief. View "Chum v.
