Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Monroe County, Myron Gookin, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Greer, P.J., and Ahlers and Buller, JJ. Opinion by Ahlers, J. (7 pages)
Justin Stickrod appeals the district court’s denial of his application for postconviction relief, arguing he received ineffective assistance of counsel when his trial lawyer failed to move for a mistrial after a prospective juror claimed Stickrod confessed and was guilty during voir dire. OPINION HOLDS: Because Stickrod has failed to establish prejudice, we affirm.
