Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Scott County, Jeffrey Bert, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Greer, P.J., and Langholz and Sandy, JJ. Opinion by Greer, P.J. (8 pages)
Ron Millbrook appeals the dismissal of his postconviction-relief petition, arguing his trial counsel was ineffective because counsel failed to impeach Vincent Harris, Millbrook’s own witness, with his prior inconsistent statements. OPINION HOLDS: We find counsel’s decision not to impeach was a tactical one and did not constitute ineffective assistance.
