Story continue from Part I ……….

In light of the foregoing, we affirm the trial court's conclusions that Dr. Upson did not miss signs of mental retardation or organic brain damage and that Raleigh in fact received a professional, competent, and appropriate mental health evaluation[1] for use in aid of his defense. [2]

B. Ineffective Assistance of Counsel

Raleigh's next three claims allege ineffective assistance of counsel. When considering claims of ineffective assistance of counsel, this Court applies the standard set forth in Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668 (1984). â€
