In the appeal filed by Joseph Miller of Cuba on behalf of Carter, the claim was made that the indictment was "jurisdictionally defective." Other claims said the plea allocution was also "jurisdictionally defective," that his sentence was "unduly harsh" and that he originally was denied "effective assistance of counsel."
Point by point, the Appellate Court rejected the claims, even saying that Carter received an "advantageous plea."
