Syllabus

App.R. 26(B) application to reopen, ineffective assistance of appellate counsel, ineffective assistance of trial counsel, perjury, inconsistent prior statements, DNA evidence, expert witnesses, Interstate Agreement on Detainers, tolling, and timeliness. This court denied the App.R. 26(B) application to reopen. Inconsistencies between a witness's prior statements and the witness's testimony is not proof of perjury. Trial counsel was not ineffective for failing to call an independent DNA witness. Current DNA standards do not invalidate prior results. Continuances at defendant's request toll the time period of the Interstate Agreement on Detainers.
