Defense counsel argued an appeal seeking reversal of a post-conviction court's denial for Christopher Thompson, who pleaded to second-degree murder and received a 20-year sentence; the defense argued ineffective assistance of counsel and that the plea was involuntary, while the state said the record (including the plea colloquy) does not support relief.
