Description
Appellant Lenoir was convicted in Lake Superior Court on December 16, 1975, of commission of a felony while armed. He was sentenced to fifteen years imprisonment. A hearing was held on appellant's motion for post-conviction relief under Ind. R. P.C. 2 in February 1977. This motion was denied in May 1977, and the present appeal follows. The sole issue presented is whether appellant's trial counsel was competent. Appellant alleges incompetency based on his counsel's failure to call either Albert Winston or Raymond Baxter as witnesses at trial. Albert Winston pleaded guilty to armed robbery in February 1976, which plea was based on the same incident as the present case. At trial, appellant testified that he did not commit the robbery in question, but that Winston had appeared at his residence shortly after the time of the robbery stating that Baxter was also on his way over. Three eyewitnesses at appellant's trial, however, identified appellant as one of the two perpetrators of the robbery.
