Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Dallas County, Michael Jacobsen, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Ahlers, P.J., and Chicchelly and Buller, JJ. Opinion by Buller, J. (9 pages)
A postconviction applicant appeals the denial of relief, asserting ineffective assistance of trial and appellate counsel, newly discovered evidence, and actual innocence. OPINION HOLDS: Finding the applicant did not prove counsel was ineffective, the evidence at issue is merely impeaching, and the applicant cannot meet the high evidentiary burden of proof for actual innocence, we affirm.
