1Opinion of the Court

MARK D. PFEIFFER, Judge.

Travis Midgyett (“Midgyett”) appeals the Circuit Court of Boone County’s (“motion court’s”) denial of his motion for post-conviction relief pursuant to Rule 29.15. Midgyett was convicted, after a jury trial, of attempted robbery in the first degree and of murder in the second degree. Mid-gyett argues that the motion court erred in finding that his trial counsel (“Counsel”) was not constitutionally ineffective for failing to present evidence Midgyett claims would have changed the outcome of the case. We affirm.
