Criminal Procedure — ineffective assistance

Thomas F. Glass, Jr. appeals from a judgment of conviction entered after a jury found him guilty of the second-degree sexual assault of his estranged wife, KG, and from an order denying his postconviction motion for a new trial. Glass argues that trial counsel was ineffective for failing to impeach the victim at trial with her allegedly inconsistent statements made or omitted in prior court proceedings, to police officers, and to an investigator retained by Glass. The State disagrees, contending that the prior statements complained of were either not inconsistent with the victim’s trial testimony, or immaterial to the disputed issues. Because we conclude that Glass has failed to establish trial counsel’s ineffectiveness, we affirm. This opinion will not be published.
