Grace v. State

The trial court properly denied the defendant's motion for an out-of-time appeal following his guilty pleas to murder, armed robbery, aggravated battery and aggravated assault, since the defendant did not allege that his failure to timely file an appeal was due to any ineffective assistance of counsel.

Allen Lee Grace appeals the trial court’s order denying his motion for an out-of-time appeal from his 1993 conviction by guilty plea. We affirm.

1. On April 19, 1991, Appellant and Willie Parris entered a grocery store in Thomas County with the intent to rob it while Appellant’s uncle stood watch outside. A store employee, Anthony Justiss, was shot once in the head and died; another employee, Warren Jackson, was shot twice in the head, leaving him blind in one eye. Appellant and his accomplices took the cash register and a cash box and fled to Grady County, where Appellant opened fire on two police officers, shooting one in the face at point blank range.
