CARNLEY v. COCHRAN

No. 158.

369 U.S. 506 (1962)

CARNLEY v. COCHRAN, CORRECTIONS DIRECTOR.

Supreme Court of United States.

Decided April 30, 1962.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

By appointment of the Court, 368 U.S. 806, Harold A. Ward III argued the cause and filed briefs for petitioner.

James G. Mahorner, Assistant Attorney General of Florida, argued the cause for respondent by special leave of Court, pro hac vice. With him on the brief was Richard W. Ervin, Attorney General.

MR. JUSTICE BRENNAN delivered the opinion of the Court.

The petitioner, who was not afforded the assistance of counsel for his defense at his trial, claims that, for this reason, his conviction by a jury in the Court of Record for Escambia County, Florida, deprived him of rights guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment. He obtained a provisional writ of habeas corpus from the Florida Supreme Court on his petition asserting that claim.
