Criminal Procedure — ineffective assistance

Michael A. Farrell appeals a judgment, entered upon a jury’s verdicts, convicting him of three counts of repeated sexual assault of a child and one
count of exposing a child to harmful materials. He also appeals an order denying his postconviction motion for a new trial. Farrell contends that
trial counsel was ineffective for failing to cross-examine the State’s expert and failing to call an expert witness to contradict a particular portion
of the State’s expert’s testimony. Farrell has not shown prejudice from either alleged error, so we affirm the judgment and order.
