Sexually Violent Persons — ineffective assistance

Jamie Stephenson appeals a judgment and commitment order for a sexually violent person, and an order denying postdisposition relief. Stephenson claims he is entitled to a new trial because his trial counsel was ineffective by failing to object to the State’s expert witness’s hearsay testimony. We reject his argument and affirm. This opinion will not be published.
