Cowherd v. State

OPINION

SHARPNACK, Judge.

Lawrence Cowherd appeals the post-conviction court’s denial of his petition for post-conviction relief. Cowherd raises two issues, which we restate as:

I. Whether the trial court committed fundamental error when it instructed the jury regarding accomplice liability for attempted murder; and

II. Whether Cowherd received effective assistance of trial counsel.

We affirm.

The relevant facts, as set forth in our memorandum opinion in Cowherd’s direct appeal, follow. See Cowherd v. State, No. 49A05-9612-CR-523, 696 N.E.2d 894 (Ind.Ct.App. May 12, 1998), trans. denied.
