Court of Appeals of Alaska March 11, 2005, A-8583 (State v. Savo)

OPINION

MANNHEIMER, Judge.

Four years ago, Allen Savo was convicted of first-degree sexual assault for raping his former girlfriend, S.W. Following his conviction, Savo filed a petition for post-conviction relief, alleging that he had received ineffective assistance of counsel from his trial attorney, Assistant Public Defender Steven Wells.

Savo’s petition went to trial.
