Abstract

In his rule 23B motion, Appellant James (Jim) Gaines argued that he received ineffective assistance of counsel in two ways. First, counsel did not present additional portions of Jim’s police interview during the search of his home under the rule of completeness that would have contextualized Jim’s statements played at trial. Second, counsel did not impeach Agent Coats’s trial
