Description
Appeal from the Circuit Court for Hillsborough County; Robert J. Simms, Judge. James Acker appeals from a final order denying his motion for post-conviction relief after evidentiary hearing regarding his convictions for two counts of first-degree murder. He contends that his trial counsel's failure to develop a coherent theory of defense, introduction of damaging evidence, and delivery of a closing argument harmful to Acker constituted ineffective assistance of counsel. We agree and, accordingly, reverse and remand for a new trial.
