The appellant, Troy Crowder, appealed his conviction and sentence for acting upon a forged document, arguing ineffective assistance of counsel and error in the restitution order.
The court found that the plea was voluntary and informed, and that Crowder received effective representation.
The appeal against conviction was dismissed, but the appeal against sentence was allowed in part: the probation condition requiring restitution to Crowder’s former spouse was vacated, while the restitution order to Aviva Insurance remained.
