Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Scott J. Beattie, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Schumacher, P.J., Sandy, J., and Bower, S.J. Opinion by Bower, S.J. (9 pages)
Richard Mutchler appeals the district court’s denial of his application for postconviction relief following his 2010 convictions for two counts of first-degree murder. Mutchler claims his trial counsel was ineffective. OPINION HOLDS: Because Mutchler did not establish prejudice, his ineffective-assistance-of-counsel claims fail. Accordingly, we affirm.
