Description
We hear this appeal from a capital conviction pursuant to section 78-2-2(3)(i) of the Utah Code. Defendant Von Lester Taylor pled guilty to two counts of capital murder in 1991. After a sentencing hearing, the jury returned two verdicts imposing the death sentence. Taylor appealed the sentence and subsequently fired his attorney, Elliot Levine. Taylor maintained his appeal with new counsel, asserting claims of inadequate representation at trial. In 1994, when the matter came before this court the first time, we remanded it to the trial court to hold a rule 23B hearing on the ineffective assistance of counsel claims and collateral claims. We now have the results of that hearing and treat all issues raised in the appeal.
