Improper factors; modification; ineffective assistance
Following conviction upon his Alford1 plea to one count of first-degree sexual assault, Richard Hendrickson moved for permission to withdraw his plea and for sentence modification. Hendrickson appeals the order denying his motion. He argues that he was denied the effective assistance of trial counsel; that the trial court considered improper factors at sentencing; and that he is entitled to sentence modification. We reject his arguments and affirm the order. This opinion will not be published.
