Description
SHORES, JUSTICE. On June 1, 1990, Wallace Rivers, represented by a court-appointed attorney, pleaded guilty in three cases involving the possession
and distribution of cocaine in Houston County, Alabama. 1 He was sentenced to life in prison. Rivers petitioned for post-conviction
relief pursuant to Rule 20, Temp. A.R.Cr.P., 2 alleging that his trial counsel was ineffective 3 and that he was not
properly informed of the maximum and minimum sentences so as to allow his plea to be knowingly and voluntarily given. The
trial Judge denied the petition, without an evidentiary hearing.
