Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Cerro Gordo County, Chris Foy, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Tabor, P.J., and Greer and Schumacher, JJ. Opinion by Greer, J. (15 pages)
An applicant appeals the denial of his application for postconviction relief. OPINION HOLDS: Because we find that none of the errors alleged constituted a breach of duty, Keys has failed to demonstrate ineffective assistance of his trial counsel. And because Keys has not demonstrated a breach of his trial counsel’s duty, his cumulative error claim also fails for lack of prejudice. We affirm.
