Kitchen v. State

Opinion

Order

PER CURIAM.

George Kitchen appeals the denial of his Rule 29.15 motion for ineffective assistance of counsel. Kitchen argues that his trial counsel was ineffective for failing to request a mistrial based on juror misconduct. The motion court found that based on the trial attorney’s testimony at the evidentia-ry hearing, the decision not to ask for a *831 mistrial was part of a reasonable trial strategy. The judgment of the motion court is affirmed.

Rule 84.16(b).
