POITRAW v. STATE


246 A.2d 815 (1968)

Harold POITRAW v. STATE of Maine et al.

Supreme Judicial Court of Maine.

October 23, 1968.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Asa Roach, Houlton, for petitioner.

John W. Benoit, Jr., Asst. Atty. Gen., Augusta, for respondents.

Before WEBBER, TAPLEY, MARDEN, DUFRESNE, and WEATHERBEE, JJ.


WEBBER, Justice.

After hearing, a writ of habeas corpus was discharged below. Petitioner appeals. Certain issues sought to be raised initially by the petition having since been withdrawn from the case, we are left on review with but two asserted grounds for post conviction relief: 1. The alleged incompetency of counsel at petitioner's original trial; and 2. the failure of the Justice presiding at that trial to allow counsel sufficient time for preparation.
