Habeas Appellate Court Opinion

by Zigadto, Janet

 

AC47425 - Smith v. Commissioner of Correction ("The petitioner, Stacy Smith, appeals, following the granting of his petition for certification to appeal, from the judgment of the habeas court denying his amended petition for a writ of habeas corpus. On appeal, the petitioner claims that the habeas court improperly rejected his claim that his trial counsel had rendered ineffective assistance in advising him with respect to a pretrial plea offer from the state. We affirm the judgment of the habeas court.")
