1Opinion of the Court
Tom Glaze, Justice.
Damond Sanford was convicted of capital murder, residential burglary, rape, and theft of property, and sentenced to death; on direct appeal, we affirmed those convictions. See Sanford v. State, 331 Ark. 334, 962 S.W.2d 335 (1998). Sanford subsequendy filed a Rule 37 petition requesting postconviction relief, alleging his trial counsel, William Howard, had provided ineffective assistance. The trial court denied Sanford’s petition, and in this appeal from that denial, Sanford raises eight reasons why the trial court was wrong and why his convictions should be reversed.
