Decided July 8, 1999No. CR 97-1246PublishedCited by 43 opinions

1Per curiam

The appellant, Andrew Sasser, was convicted of capital felony murder and sentenced to die by lethal injection. We affirmed the conviction and sentence in Sasser v. State, 321 Ark. 438, 902 S.W.2d 773 (1995). Sasser subsequently filed a timely petition for postconviction relief pursuant to Arkansas Criminal Procedure Rule 37. In that petition, Sasser raised several claims of ineffective assistance of counsel. The Circuit Court, after a hearing, entered written findings of fact and conclusions of law in which it denied relief. Sasser now appeals from that order. We affirm.
