Indiana Court of Appeals
Kelly L. Gillespie v. State of Indiana
23A-PC-2494
Post conviction relief. Reverses the Orange Circuit Court’s denial of Kelly Gillespie’s petition for post conviction relief after he was convicted of Level 4 felony possession of methamphetamine, Level 6 felony maintaining a common nuisance, and Class B misdemeanor possession of marijuana. Finds Gillespie’s counsel’s errors are sufficient to undermine the appellate court’s confidence in the verdict rendered in this case.
