Listen to this article7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Case Name: Abdullah T. Alkhalidi v. Ron Neal
Case No.: 19-1378
Officials: WOOD, Chief Judge, and BAUER and BRENNAN, Circuit Judges.
Focus: Habeas Corpus
Abdullah Alkhalidi (“Alkhalidi”) was convicted of murder, robbery, and theft. He appealed, claiming that his attorney failed to advise him of a plea offer. The Indiana state court denied relief, holding Alkhalidi’s innocence claim strongly indicated he would not have accepted the plea deal. The state court also held that Indiana requires a defendant to admit a plea deal’s factual basis otherwise the trial court would be prevented from entering the plea. Alkhalidi filed for habeas corpus relief and the district court denied the petition. We affirm.
