Description
Brian Coerper appeals a judgment convicting him of first-degree intentional homicide and a post-conviction order denying his motion for a new trial. He argues that a new trial should be granted in the interest of Justice because the real controversy was not fully tried and because he received ineffective assistance of trial counsel. In support of these arguments, Coerper identifies two matters that he contends were not presented or were inadequately presented to the jury. First, Coerper contends that the jury should have been informed of evidence tending to show that the victim committed suicide. Second, he contends that discrepancies among three witnesses testimony that Coerper admitted to the murder should have been brought to the jurys attention. We reject these arguments and affirm the judgment of conviction and the order denying a new trial.
