Description

The defendant-appellant, Kerry Dale Blackburn, was arrested in Wallace, Idaho, on November 30, 1975, for robbery. The following day the Shoshone County Public Defender was appointed to represent Blackburn. On February 9, 1976, Blackburn, on the advice of his court appointed counsel, entered a plea of guilty to the charges. Blackburn was thereafter sentenced to a maximum term of ten years in the state penitentiary. Blackburn appealed, requesting this Court to set aside his guilty plea and to remand for trial. The only issue raised by Blackburn on appeal concerns competency of this trial counsel. Blackburn claims that because of incompetency on the part of his trial counsel, his guilty plea was involuntary and he was denied reasonable assistance of counsel.
