Syllabus

On appeal from convictions for gross sexual imposition and rape of a minor under ten years old. The state's failure to disclose a co-defendant's plea deal was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt because separate unchallenged evidence provided ample support for the defendant's convictions. The defendant was not denied effective assistance of counsel from counsel's failure to move to suppress the defendant's email and text communications regarding his sexual desires for and sexual abuse of the victim; there was no showing that the defense would have been likely to succeed on the motion or that a suppression of the evidence would have changed the result of the trial. The defendant failed to demonstrate that he was prejudiced by the lack of specific dates in the bill of particulars.
