Williams v. Warden of the Maryland Penitentiary
Citations: 239 Md. 706; 211 A.2d 735Docket: App. No. 141
Court: Court of Appeals of Maryland; July 6, 1965; Maryland; State Supreme Court
Alton Wade Williams submitted a second application for leave to appeal following the denial of post-conviction relief concerning his second-degree murder conviction. His first application was previously denied in Williams v. Warden, 233 Md. 646. The current application is also denied, with the court determining that Williams' claims of inadequate representation by his self-employed counsel and the State's use of perjured testimony were issues that could have been raised in his first petition. The court cites Duckett v. Warden, 230 Md. 621, and references the applicable statute, Code (1964 Cum. Supp. Art. 27. 645H), as the basis for denial.
