Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Marshall County, Kurt J. Stoebe, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Tabor, C.J., and Ahlers and Sandy, JJ. Opinion by Sandy, J. (8 pages)
Todd Woodworth appeals the district court’s ruling denying his application for postconviction relief. On appeal, he asserts he received ineffective assistance of counsel from his attorney at his probation revocation hearing because she did not adequately advise him on the benefits of testifying at the hearing. OPINION HOLDS: Because we find Woodworth has not established the necessary prejudice to succeed on an ineffective-assistance claim, we affirm.
