Criminal Procedure — ineffective assistance — prejudice

Robert Carlson appeals judgments convicting him of eight offenses relating to his stalking of G. G. He also appeals an order denying his postconviction motion in which he alleged ineffective assistance of trial counsel. He contends his counsel, Francis Rivard, asked questions that allowed the jury to learn of accusations that Carlson repeatedly beat G. G. and was investigated for sexually assaulting the victim’s daughter. Because we conclude Carlson has not established prejudice to his defense, we affirm the judgment and order. This opinion will not be published.
