BAGWELL v. STATE

No. 5267.

410 S.C. 259 (2014)

763 S.E.2d 630

Steve BAGWELL, Petitioner, v. STATE of South Carolina, Respondent.

Court of Appeals of South Carolina.

Decided August 27, 2014.

Rehearing Denied October 21, 2014.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Deputy Chief Appellate Defender Wanda H. Carter , of Columbia, for Petitioner.

Attorney General Alan McCrory Wilson and Assistant Attorney General Karen Christine Ratigan , both of Columbia, for Respondent.

LOCKEMY, J.

In this appeal from the denial of his post-conviction relief (PCR) application, Steve Bagwell argues the PCR court erred in finding his trial counsel was not ineffective for (1) failing to request DNA testing for blood found on glass recovered at the crime scene and (2) failing to argue a witness's testimony was admissible to show evidence of a victim's bias and motive to fabricate testimony. We reverse and grant Bagwell a new trial.
