The petitioner, Dedrick Patton, appeals from the denial of his petition for post-conviction relief. The issues presented for review are as follows: (1) whether he was denied the effective assistance of counsel; (2) whether he knowingly and voluntarily entered his plea of guilt; (3) whether a sufficient factual basis was entered to support the plea; (4) whether there was a violation of the right to due process; and (5) whether there was a racially biased grand jury. The judgment is reversed, the conviction set aside, and the cause remanded for trial.
