Clinton Folkes v. Charles Williams, Jr., Warden
1. Whether a criminal defendant's right to counsel on direct appeal attaches throughout the period when the appellate court has jurisdiction over the case.
2. Whether an indigent defendant is denied his right to counsel under the Sixth Amendment when the State appoints an attorney to represent him on appeal but then, without the defendant's knowledge, replaces that attorney with a non-lawyer who (i) fraudulently represents herself to be an attorney and (ii) provides the defendant with incorrect information regarding his legal rights and available remedies, and thereby causes the defendant to forfeit his right to seek further judicial review.
