Criminal Procedure – ineffective counsel – evidentiary hearing
Kenneth L. Hare appeals the judgment convicting him of armed robbery with use of force and first-degree recklessly endangering safety and from the order denying his postconviction motion. Hare argues that: (1) his trial counsel was ineffective for failing to request that the jury be instructed on the law of self-defense; and (2) the trial court erred in ruling that he was not entitled to an evidentiary hearing on his claim that trial counsel was ineffective for failing to request that the jury be instructed on the law of theft. We reject his arguments and affirm. Not recommended for publication in the official reports.
