Evidentiary Hearing on IAC Claim Denied

Published

Boyle v. McCune, No. 06-3025, 10/16/08 - State habeas petitioner was not entitled to an evidentiary hearing on his claims of ineffective assistance by both trial and appellate counsel because his claims of deficient performance, even if true, did not establish a reasonable probability that, but for the alleged deficiencies, he would have prevailed at trial.
