Topic: Post-conviction relief - Successive writ - Time bar
Summary of the Facts: Robert Glass pled guilty to murder in 1999. After being sentenced, he filed a petition for post-conviction relief, which was denied by the trial court. Glass appealed, and the appellate court affirmed the trial court’s ruling. Glass filed a second petition for PCR which was also summarily denied by the trial court. Glass appeals.
Summary of Opinion Analysis: A trial court’s grant or denial of a petition for PCR is a final judgment, and it shall be a bar to a second or successive motion. In addition to the procedural bar against a successive writ, Glass’s current petition, had it been his first plea for review, would nonetheless be time barred.
