Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Lucas County, Patrick W. Greenwood, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Vaitheswaran, P.J., Tabor, J., and Danilson, S.J. Opinion by Danilson, S.J. (2 pages)
Robin Keith appeals following pleas of guilty to a number of charges, contending trial counsel was ineffective and the court erred in accepting his plea. He asserts the “strong and unfamiliar psychological medication” he was taking interfered with his cognitive abilities and prevented him from understanding his rights and the consequences of entering a guilty plea. OPINION HOLDS: The record before us is not adequate to explore this ineffective-assistance-of-counsel claim and we preserve the claim for possible postconviction-relief proceedings.
