COM. v. BOWLES

No. 2005-SC-000039-DG.

237 S.W.3d 137 (2007)

COMMONWEALTH of Kentucky, Appellant v. Edward T. BOWLES, Appellee.

Supreme Court of Kentucky.

November 1, 2007.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Gregory D. Stumbo, Attorney General, Samuel J. Floyd, Jr., Assistant Attorney General, Office of Attorney General, Office of Criminal Appeals, Frankfort, KY, Counsel for Appellant.

Susan Jackson Balliet, Assistant Public Advocate, Department of Public Advocacy, Frankfort, KY, Counsel for Appellee.

Opinion of the Court by Justice CUNNINGHAM.

We reverse the opinion of the Court of Appeals which reversed and remanded the trial court's denial of a motion under RCr 11.42 filed by Appellee, Edward T. Bowles. We find that the Court of Appeals misapplied the standard set forth in Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668, 104 S.Ct. 2052, 80 L.Ed.2d 674 (1984), in addressing Bowles' ineffective assistance of counsel claim.
