Court of Appeals of South Carolina February 22, 2012, 4946 (Walker v. State)

FEW, C.J.

This is a post-conviction relief (PCR) action arising out of Joseph Walker’s convictions for kidnapping and first-degree criminal sexual conduct. The circuit court granted Walker’s PCR application based on trial counsel’s failure to investigate a potential alibi witness and the cumulative prejudicial effect of three other alleged instances of deficient performance.
