Criminal
Criminal Procedure — right to testify — waiver
Steven Collins appeals a judgment of conviction for false imprisonment, battery, and second-degree sexual assault, and an order denying his postconviction motion. Collins argues he is entitled to a new trial because he did not personally waive his right to testify. We conclude the State met its burden to demonstrate Collins made a knowing and intelligent waiver. Accordingly, we affirm. This opinion will not be published.
