HOLDEN v. STATE

No. 27012.

393 S.C. 565 (2011)

713 S.E.2d 611

Kelle HOLDEN, Respondent, v. STATE of South Carolina, Petitioner.

Supreme Court of South Carolina.

Decided July 25, 2011.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Attorney General Alan Wilson, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, Assistant Attorney General Karen Ratigan, all of Columbia, for Petitioner.

Appellate Defender Elizabeth A. Franklin-Best, of South Carolina Commission on Indigent Defense, of Columbia, for Respondent.

Justice BEATTY:

This Court granted the State's petition for a writ of certiorari to review the circuit court's order granting post-conviction relief (PCR) to Kelle Holden as to her guilty plea. The State contends the circuit court judge erred in finding plea counsel ineffective for failing to adequately (1) discuss the charges with Holden, and (2) explain to Holden that she was pleading guilty without a sentence recommendation from the State. We reverse.
