State v. Beckering

Opinion

PEARCE, Judge:

{1 Dale R. Beckering appeals his aggravated abuse of a vulnerable adult conviction, which was enhanced to a second degree felony because the jury found he had acted in concert with others. Beckering argues that his trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance by inviting errors in the jury instructions and by failing to object to several instances of alleged prosecutorial misconduct and improper testimony. He also argues that the district court's failure to prevent the prosecutorial misconduct and improper testimony constituted plain error. We affirm.
