Ross v. Haskins
Ohio Supreme Court
Ross v. Haskins, 2 Ohio St. 2d 145 (Ohio 1965)
207 N.E.2d 246; 31 Ohio Op. 2d 237; 1965 Ohio LEXIS 507
Brown, Herbert, Matthias, Neill, Schneider, Taet, Zlmmerman
Ross v. Haskins
Opinion of the Court
Petitioner bases his right to release on an alleged deprivation of his constitutional right to the assistance of counsel. Petitioner states that he was not offered counsel, was not told of his right to counsel and did not waive counsel.
The trial judge appeared as a witness at the hearing, and his testimony fully corroborates petitioner’s contention.
The petitioner testified that he was not aware of his right to have counsel appointed.
Thus, under the doctrine of Carnley v. Cochran, Dir., 369 U. S. 506, and Gideon v. Wainwright, Dir., 372 U. S. 335, petitioner is entitled to release.
Petitioner released from custody.
