SHEPARD, Chief Justice.
A jury found appellant Terry Pennyceuff guilty on two counts of incest, three counts of child molesting, and one count of sexual misconduct with a minor for carrying on a sexual relationship with his teenage daughter over a three-year period. The Court of Appeals ordered a new trial, holding that Pennycuff's lawyer was ineffective for failing to object to evidence that violated Pen-nycuff's rights under Doyle v. Ohio.1 Pennycuff v. State, 727 N.E.2d 723 (Ind.Ct. App.2000).
We conclude that the caselaw points to a different outcome.
