Barham

State ex rel. Lowe v. Henderson

Opinion of the Court

*474There is no merit in the applicant’s complaint.

Concurring Opinion

BARHAM, J.,

fully concurring. We have considered and rejected the relators’ alternative application for habeas corpus although his first plea was for mandamus. We have done so because the trial record before us totally negates relatoi's’ allegations for habeas corpus relief of bias and prejudice on the part of court and counsel. The plea colloquy establishes a waiver of all constitutional rights in a knowing and vohxntary plea with competent coxxnsel.
