Johnson v. State
Indiana Court of Appeals
1Opinion of the Court
OPINION
RILEY, Judge.
STATEMENT OF THE CASE
Appellant-Defendant, Randall Edward Johnson (Johnson), appeals his conviction for child molesting, a Class A felony, Ind. Code § 85-42-4-8(a)(1).
We affirm.
ISSUES
Johnson raises two issues on appeal, which we restate as:(1) Whether the trial court had a duty to investigate Johnson's complaints regarding the quality of his trial counsel's representation while his criminal case was unfolding; and(2) Whether the State committed prose-cutorial misconduct when it characterized physical evidence at the crime scene as supporting the vice-tim's version of events.
