Syllabus

Petition for postconviction relief evidentiary hearing ineffective assistance of counsel abuse of discretion. There was no abuse of discretion where the trial court denied appellant's petition for postconviction relief without first conducting a hearing. Although appellant's claims fell under the doctrine of res judicata, the trial court, after considering appellant's claims, found that witness testimony and forensic evidence sufficiently sustained appellant's convictions.
