Ellis, Stanley Ray v. State of Mississippi
Rankin Circuit Court; LC Case#: 3087; Ruling Date: 09/20/1991; Ruling Judge: Robert Goza, Jr.; Disposition: Ellis' Petition for Rehearing and the Response to Petition for Rehearing filed by the State, in which Ellis seeks reconsideration of this Court's Order entered October 19, 1998 which denied his Motion for Leave to Proceed in Trial Court, for Relief in this Court, granted. Ellis is granted leave to proceed for post-conviction relief in the Circuit Court of Rankin County upon the single issue of whether DNA testing of the preserved physical evidence will prove his innocence. Ellis' ineffective assistance of counsel, based on his trial attorney's failure to seek DNA analysis at trial, is without merit and is therefore denied. The Circuit Court of Rankin County shall provide access to and chain-of-custody delivery of the physical evidence in this case to a reputable and competent laboratory of Ellis' choice at Ellis' expense, and under such directions as the circuit court may impose, consistent with this order. Ellis shall safely return such evidence to the Circuit Court Clerk of Rankin County within forty-five days unless the circuit court shall for good cause extend that period. Waller, J., would deny.
