Did Jennings's trial counsel render ineffective assistance with his misplaced advice to plead guilty because Jennings would be parole eligible?
Did Jennings's trial counsel's performance fall below the Sixth Amendment's standard when he abdicated his duties and responsibilities to Jennings, especially where counsel failed to investigate the State's case against Jennings?
