Green v. Georgia
Annotate this CasePro se Appellant Dexter Wendell Green appealed a trial court's order which granted the State's motion to dismiss appellant's motion for an out-of-time appeal. In 1990, appellant entered a guilty plea and was sentenced to life in prison for malice murder. In May 2011, appellant moved for an out-of-time appeal, claiming he was not indicted, or that he involuntarily waived the indictment, and that the trial court failed to question him about the voluntariness of his plea. Appellant also alleged that his counsel was ineffective for failing to advise him that he could withdraw his guilty plea. Finding that Appellant's claims lacked merit, the Supreme Court affirmed.
