Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Clinton County, Patrick A. McElyea, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered without oral argument by Greer, P.J., and Badding and Chicchelly, JJ. Opinion by Greer, P.J. (11 pages)

OPINION HOLDS: Because we find trial counsel performed competently and the evidence on the record does not supply clear proof that Lucas is actually innocent, we affirm his convictions.
