Criminal Procedure — ineffective assistance — prejudice

Leng Vang appeals from a judgment of conviction of repeated sexual assault of the same child and from an order denying his postconviction motion alleging ineffective assistance of trial counsel. He argues that his trial counsel was ineffective for not objecting to testimony that a witness deemed the victim’s accusations to be truthful. We conclude that although trial counsel failed to make a proper objection, Vang was not prejudiced. We affirm the judgment and order. This opinion will not be published.
