Criminal Procedure — restraints during trial

Jeffrey Turner appeals a judgment of conviction entered upon a guilty verdict for disorderly conduct. Turner argues that the circuit court erred by failing to provide specific reasons on the record for keeping him in restraints and guarded at the jury trial, which ultimately caused him to be prejudiced in the eyes of the jury. Turner also argues that trial counsel was ineffective for failing to raise those issues at trial. Because we conclude that Turner suffered no prejudice as a result of either the court’s or counsel’s actions at trial, we affirm. This opinion will not be published.
