Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Scott J. Beattie, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Tabor, C.J., Badding, J., and Carr, S.J. Buller, J., takes no part. Opinion by Carr, S.J. (8 pages)
William Roland appeals from the district court’s denial of his application for postconviction relief (PCR) related to his criminal conviction in Polk County, arguing his trial counsel was ineffective for failing to object to the lack of unanimity in the charge and jury verdict and failing to consult experts for his defense. OPINION HOLDS: We affirm the district court’s denial of Roland’s application for PCR.
