Supreme Court of South Carolina January 30, 2006, 26101 (Nance v. Ozmint)

Chief Justice TOAL:

Robert Lee Nance (Petitioner), sentenced to death for murder, appealed from the post-conviction relief (PCR) court’s denial of his application for relief. This Court held that the manner in which Petitioner’s trial counsel investigated, planned, and conducted his defense constituted a classic example of a complete breakdown in the adversarial process.
