v. KIMBERLY OLGA COLE, Respondent,

Appellant. JOHANSON, J. — 

### Ajury found Kimberly O. Cole, Johnny E. Dunham, LynitaW. Garcia, 

### and Michael L. Horner guilty of second degree burglary, first degree trafficking in stolen property, and third degree theft. They now appeal from their convictions. 1 Horner, Dunham, 

### and Cole each challenge the constitutionality ofour accomplice liability statute and the adequacy
of their charging information regarding their trafficking charges. Further, each appellant alleges 

### that the State committed prosecutorial misconduct relating to their second degree burglary
convictions or, in the alternative, that insufficient evidence supported those convictions. 

### Additionally, Garcia claims that the State failed to offer sufficient evidence to support her convictions and Cole claims ineffective assistance of counsel. We accept the State' s concession that insufficient evidence supports one ofthe alternative 

### means ofcommitting second degree burglary. Accordingly,we reversethe burglary convictions,
and remand for retrial. 2 

### We affirm the remaining convictions because our accomplice liability

### statute is constitutional, the charging documents were not deficient, sufficient evidence supports Garcia's remaining convictions, and Cole' s counsel provided effective assistance ofcounsel. FACTS 

### In October 2011, Thurston County Sheriff's Deputy Jason Casebolt responded to a 911 burglary call. 

### The property owner had died and the now - vacant property, including a home, detached barn, open carport, and storage container, had been subject to recent burglaries. The 

### deceased had collected scrap metal and equipment that attracted looters and metal scrappers to the property. 

### The main access driveway was gated, locked, and featured a no trespassing sign. 

### The property had a back road, which was also posted with a no trespassing sign, although it had been knocked to the side. Upon arriving, Deputy Casebolt saw a man— later identified as the 911 caller, William White—

### sitting in his vehicle which was parked behind Horner's vehicle, 

### preventing itfrom moving. White,theproperty's caretaker, called 911 when he sawan unknown
vehicle with four individuals — later identified as Cole, Dunham, Garcia, and Horner - 

### walking in and around the carport and the opened storage container. The night before this incident, White had staged certain items so he could see whether items had been moved or taken. 

### The next day, White noticed the no trespassing sign was no longer where he had posted it the night before. White saw Horner walk out of the carport, turn back toward the carport and throw something inside it. 

### Horner immediately got in his truck and 

### started to back itup. Atthis time,White sawDunham exitthe storage container, and hurrytothe passenger side ofHorner' s truck. To prevent Hornerfrom leaving, White positioned his truckto block Horner' s truck. White then saw Cole and Garcia walk out ofthe storage container towards Horner' s truck; according to White, both women looked nervous, scared, and hurried. White 

### recognized several items fromthe property in Horner'struck. Deputy Casebolt obtained asearch 3Consol. Nos. 43549 - 7 -II / 43562 -

### warrant for Horner's truck and found scrap metal receipts with the appellants' names on them. 

### The State charged the defendants with second degree burglary, first degree trafficking in stolen property, and third degree theft. 

### At trial, White testified that only he and realtors were authorized to be on the property. Employees from two scrap metal recyclers testified that they recognized the appellants as metal
scrappers who had sold scrap metal for cash. 

### Kimberly Knecht, the manager at Valley 

### Recycling, testified that afterthe incident, Garcia phoned Valley Recycling asking ifthe police had called about her. 

### Garcia wanted to know what the recycling center told the police. Commercial Metal Recycle' s Michael Holman testified that Cole usually visited the recycle
center with Dunham. 

### Additionally, Deputy Casebolt found Dunham's, Garcia's, and Horner's names on scrap metal recycling receipts in Horner' s truck. 

### Deputy Casebolt testified that a very nervous Cole explained to him that she was at the 

### deceased' s property because her friend had called her to go clean it up because it was in foreclosure. 

### Deputy Casebolt saidthat Dunham and Hornertold himtheywerejustthere to ride along orhelp Cole Though Cole initially told Deputy Caseboltthattheywere atthe propertyto 

### clean it for a foreclosure sale, Deputy Casebolt testified that foreclosure cleanup businesses 

### typically have business licenses, equipment, uniforms, keys, or other indicia of a legitimate operation, which this group lacked. 

### Dunham, Garcia, and Horner all testified that they were at the property due to Cole's foreclosure clean - up bid. Dunham also admitted that he had seen the no trespassing sign posted
at the main entrance at the front of the property. Garcia testified that she never entered the storage container and never picked anything up. Horner testified that the tools in his truck were 

### his own and nottaken from the property. Cole did nottestify. 4Consol. Nos. 43549 - 7 -II / 43562 -

### The trial court instructed thejury that it could find the defendants guilty as principals or accomplices. During rebuttal closing, the prosecutor argued, 

### I' m going to ask you to convict all four ofthese defendants with burglary in the second degree. 

### There is no question that they entered a building, any of them. 

### The carport constitutes a building, the storage container constitutes a building, and the fenced area, that yard, it does constitute a building by definition. There' s 

### nothing inyour instructions that says the fencing musttouch all the way around, it says fenced area and that' s it, and I submit to you that's exactly what occurred here. 5 Report of Proceedings at 808 -09. 

### Thejury found the defendants guilty as charged. They now appeal. ANALYSIS I. ACCOMPLICE LIABILITY STATUTE, RCW 9A.08. 020 Cole, Horner, and Dunham argue that Washington's accomplice liability statute, RCW 9A.08. 020, is unconstitutionally overbroad. The appellants argue that Washington' s accomplice 

### liability statute does not meet the standard set forth in Brandenburg v. Ohio, 395 U.S. 444, 447, 89 S. Ct. 1827, 23 L. Ed. 2d 430 ( 1969).- Because " aid" is not defined -in the statute, the appellants argue that the statute criminalizes speech other than that "` directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action. 

### Br.ofAppellant (Horner) at 8 ( quoting Brandenburg, 395 U.S. at 447). 

### Because we have consistently held that our accomplice statute is not unconstitutionally overbroad in this respect,we disagree with the appellants' argument.

Constitutional questions are issues of law and we review them de novo. State v. Gresham, 173 Wn.2d 405, 419, 269 P.3d 207 (2012).

In State v. Ferguson, we rejected this same challenge to RCW 9A.08. 020(3)( a). 164 Wn. App. 370, 375 -76, 264 P. 3d 575 ( 2011) ( 

### citing Statev. Coleman, 155 Wn.App.951, 960 - 61, 231 5Consol. Nos. 43549 - 7 -II / 43562 -

t]he accomplice 

### liability statute ... requires the criminal mens rea to aid or agree to aid the commission ofa specific crime with knowledge that the aid will further the crime. 

### Therefore, by the statute's text, its sweep avoids protected speech activities that are not performed in aid of a crime and that only consequentially further the crime. 155 Wn. App. at 960 - 61. In Ferguson, we adopted the Coleman reasoning and addressed the Brandenburg standard, holding that "[ b]ecause the statute' s language forbids advocacy directed 

### at and likely to incite or produce imminent lawless action, it does not forbid the mere advocacy
of law violation that is protected under the holding ofBrandenburg." 

### 164 Wn.App. at 376. The 

### appellants here do not demonstrate why we should not adhere to our Ferguson decision and analysis. Accordingly,the constitutional challengeto the accomplice liability statute fails. II. ADEQUACY OF INFORMATION Next, Cole, Horner, 

### and Dunham argue that their charging information provided 

### inadequate notice for the trafficking charge, violating their Sixth and Fourteenth Amendment rights aswell as theirarticle I, section 22 rights underthe Washington Constitution. They assert that the information failed to allege that they " knowingly" trafficked stolen property. Because 

### the charging information included all ofthe offense's essential elements,this argumentfails. A. STANDARD OF REVIEW AND RULES OF LAW We review challenges to the sufficiency of a charging document de novo. State v. Williams, 162 Wn.2d 177, 182, 170 P. 3d 30 (2007). The Sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution provides in part, " In all ... prosecutions, the accused shall ... be informed ofthe
nature and cause of the accusation." Article I, section 22 of the Washington ConstitutionConsol. Nos. 43549 - 7 -II /43562 -

4 -II /44390 -

2 -II /43654 -

0 -II
provides in part, " In criminal prosecutions the accused shall have the right ... to demand the nature and cause ofthe accusation against him." 

### An appellant may challenge the constitutional sufficiency ofa charging documentforthe first time on appeal. State v. Kjorsvik, 117 Wn.2d 93, 102, 812 P.2d 86 ( 1991). But where the 

### appellant challenges the information's sufficiency for the first time on appeal, we construe the document liberally in favor of validity. State v. Brown, 169 Wn.2d 195, 197, 234 P.3d 212 2010). 

### Under this liberal construction rule, we will uphold the charging document if an apparently missing element may be " fairly implied" from the document' s language. Kjorsvik, 117 Wn.2d at 104. We ask, "( 1) [ 

### D]o the necessary facts appear in any form, or by fair
construction can they be found, in the charging document; and, if so, ( 2) can the defendant show 

### that he or she was nonetheless actually prejudiced by the inartful language which caused a lack
of notice ? "

3 Kjorsvik, 117 Wn.2d at 105 -06. We read the charging document as a whole, according to common sense and including implied facts. 

### State v. Nonog, 169 Wn.2d 220, 227, 237 P. 3d 250 (2010). B.ANALYSIS . 

### To establish first degree trafficking in stolen property, the State must prove that a person 

### knowingly initiates, organizes, plans, finances, directs, manages, or supervises the theft of property for sale to others, or who 

### knowingly traffics in stolen property." RCW 9A.82.050( 1). Traffic" means to sell, transfer, distribute, dispense, or otherwise dispose of stolen property to 

### anotherperson, orto buy,receive,possess, orobtain control ofstolen propertywith intentto sell,

3 Appellants do not address whether, if "knowingly" 

### can be fairly implied from the charging document, there was nonetheless actual prejudice. 

### We decide cases only on the basis of issues set forth by the parties in their briefs. RAP 12. 1( a); State v. Johnson, 119 Wn.2d 167, 171, 829 P.2d 1082 ( 1992). 

### Accordingly,we do not discuss the second prong ofKjorsvik. 7Consol. Nos. 43549 - 7 -II /43562 -

4 -II /44390 -

2 -II /43654 -

0 -II transfer, distribute, dispense, or otherwise dispose of the property to another person. RCW 9A.82.010( 19). 

### Here,the appellants' charging information statedthat each defendant did knowingly initiate, organize, plan, finance, direct, manage, or supervise the theft ofproperty for sale to others, and / or did knowingly sell, transfer, distribute, dispense, or otherwise dispose of stolen property to another person or to buy, receive, possess, or obtain control ofstolen property, with intent to sell, transfer, distribute, dispense, or otherwise dispose ofthe property to anotherperson. Clerk' s Papers ( CP) ( Dunham) at 6; CP ( Cole) at 3; CP (Horner) at 4; CP (Garcia) at 6.

The appellants contend, however, that the information failed to include " knowingly" before the last alternative listed ( "or to 

### buy, receive, possess, or obtain control of stolen property "), whereas each of the other listed alternatives included " knowingly." Because the 

### appellants did not challenge the charging documents at trial, they must show that the charging 

### documents failed to include a necessary fact, and that the absence ofthe necessary fact actually prejudiced them at trial. See Kjorsvik, 117 Wn.2d at 105 -06. 

### We review the charging documents to see whether the missing element could be fairly implied from the document' s language. Kjorsvik, 117 Wn.2d at -104. Here, the charging 

### document twice stated that in order to be found guilty of trafficking in stolen property, knowingly" must be proved. The appellants, however, want to disconnect the phrasing following " or otherwise dispose of stolen property to another person" and before " or to buy, receive, possess." 

### But this requires a strained reading of the information's language because there is no punctuation 

### indicating that these two phrases are intended to be read separately. One

### can fairly inferthatthe second "knowingly" inthe charging document modified each ofthe verbs 

## thatfollowed itsuchthat "knowingly" isfairly impliedwhen read incontext.4 Absent a showing ofan inadequate charging document,the appellants do not demonstrate any reversible error.

III. INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE OF ALTERNATIVE MEANS OF BURGLARY 

### Appellants next argue that the prosecutor committed misconduct by misrepresenting the law when she argued that the defendants could be convicted of second degree burglary by entering a partially fenced area. Although the appellants originally characterized the argument as one ofprosecutorial misconduct, the appellants agreed with the State that the issue was equally capable of redress on sufficiency grounds. Wash. Court of Appeals oral argument, State v. Horner et. al, No. 43549 - 7 -II (Feb. 19, 2014), at.7 min., 15 sec. —7 min., 55 sec. ( on file with court). 

### A defendant commits second degree burglary when she or he enters or remains unlawfully in a building other than a vehicle or dwelling, with the intent to commit a crime therein. RCW 9A:52.030( 1).- 

### A "building" includes any dwelling, fenced area, vehicle; railway 

### car, cargo container, or any other structure used for lodging of persons or for carrying on business therein, or for the use, sale, or deposit of goods. RCW 9A.04. 110(5). When alternative


### 4 Furthermore, in Kjorsvik, the court concluded that the accused suffered no actual prejudice because the " to convict" instruction contained the element that was missing from the charging information. Kjorsvik, 117 Wn.2d at 111. Similarly here, the " to convict" jury instruction 

### regarding the trafficking charge expressly provided that in order to convict the appellants for trafficking stolen property, the jury needed to find that ( 1) " the defendant or an accomplice knowingly trafficked in stolen property "; and ( 2) "[ t]hat the defendant knew the property was stolen." CP ( Dunham) at 64; CP ( Horner) at 25 -28. Thus, the trial court instructed thejury that 

### any conviction for trafficking in stolen property required proofbeyond a reasonable doubt that the appellants " knowingly" trafficked in stolen property. 9Consol. Nos. 43549 - 7 -II / 43562 -

4 -1I / 44390 -

### means of committing a single offense are presented to ajury, each alternative means must be supported by substantial evidence in order to safeguard a defendant's right to a unanimous jury determination. State v. Garcia, _ Wn.2d _, 318 P.3d 266, 271 ( 2014).

Here, the trial court instructed the 

### jury, " Building, in addition to its ordinary meaning, includes any fenced area or cargo container." CP ( Horner) at 14. 

### Accordingly, the jury was 

### instructed that it could convict the defendants if it determined that they entered or remained 

### unlawfully in eitherabuilding on the property, a fenced area, or in the cargo container,withthe intent to commit a crime. 

### The State concedes .that no evidence demonstrates that a combination of fencing and 

### structures enclosed the entire property as is required under State v. Engel, 166 Wn.2d 572, 210 P. 3d 1007 ( 2009). The Engel court held that " fenced area" included curtilage that is either 

### completely enclosed by fencing or is enclosed by a combination offencing and other structures. 

### 166 Wn.2d at 580. The partially fenced areawithout structures filling gaps in the fencing did not
create an enclosure and thus did not constitute a " 

### building." Therefore, sufficient evidence did 

### not supportthe fenced areameans bywhichthejury could havefoundthe defendants guilty inits general verdict. Accordingly, we accept the State's concession and reverse and remand the
second degree burglary convictioris. 5

Because we reverse on this ground we do not reach the appellants' prosecutorial misconduct argument. 10Consol. Nos. 43549 - 7 -II /43562 -

0 -II IV. GARCIA' S INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE CLAIMS 

### Garcia argues that the State offered insufficient evidence for thejury to find her guilty as

a principal or an accomplice of second degree burglary, 6 

### first degree trafficking in stolen 

### property, andthird degree theft. We disagree. A. STANDARD OF REVIEWAND RULES OF LAW We review claims of insufficient evidence to determine whether, after viewing the 

### evidence in the light most favorable to the State, any rational trier offact could have found guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. State v. Salinas, 119 Wn.2d 192, 201, 829 P.2d 1068 ( 1992). We draw all reasonable inferences from the evidence in favor ofthe State and against the defendant. Salinas, 119 Wn.2d at 201. 

### A sufficiency challenge admits the truth ofthe State' s evidence and
all reasonable inferences from it. 

### State v. Therf,25 Wn.App. 590, 593, 608 P.2d 1254, aff'd, 95 Wn.2d 385, 622 P.2d 1240 ( 1980). 

### We leave credibility determinations to the fact finder and do not reviewthem on appeal. State v. Camarillo, 115 Wn.2d 60, 71, 794 P.2d 850 ( 1990). B. SECOND DEGREE BURGLARY 

### A-defendant commits second degree burglarywhen she entersor remains unlawfully in a building other than a vehicle or dwelling with the intent to commit a crime therein. RCW 9A.52.030( 1). A " building" includes any dwelling, fenced area, vehicle, railway car, cargo 

### container, or any other structure used for lodging ofpersons orfor carrying on business therein,

or for the use, sale, or deposit of goods. RCW 9A.04. 110( 5). Therefore, the State was required to prove that Garcia ( 1) 

### entered or remained unlawfully in a building other than a vehicle or 

### 6 Although we reverse and remand Garcia's burglary conviction for retrial, we address Garcia's 

### argument contestingthe sufficiency ofthe evidence againsther because Garciawould be entitled to dismissal with prejudice ifshe were to prevail on those grounds. 11Consol. Nos. 43549 - 7 -II / 43562 -

### dwelling, and (2) that she did so with the intent to commit a crime against a person or property therein. 

### Alternatively, the State could also prove that Garcia was criminally liable for the burglary as an accomplice by showing that Garcia, with knowledge that it would promote or facilitate the commission ofthe crime, either (1) solicited, commanded, encouraged, or requested the other person to commit the crime; or (2) aided or agreed to aid such other person in planning 

### or committing it. RCW 9A.08.020; State v. Roberts, 142 Wn.2d 471, 502, 14 P.3d 713 (2000). Here, the State presented evidence from which any rational jury could have found that Garcia engaged in second degree burglary as a principal or an accomplice beyond a reasonable doubt. 

### Garcia was seen exiting the storage container on property that featured a no trespassing sign and on which no one other than White and realtors were allowed. Because she was 

### trespassing and was not licensed or otherwise privileged to be inside the container, Garcia's entry was unlawful. RCW 9A.52.010(5). White noticed that Garcia appeared nervous as she exited the container and also that she hurried towards Horner' s truck, which contained items previously removed from the property without authorization. Knecht testified that Garcia was 

### knownasa regular metal recycleratValley Recycling,and following the October 15 incidentat the property involved here, Garcia called Valley Recycling to ask someone whether the police had called and if they had told the police anything about her. 

### Viewing this evidence in a light 

### most favorable to the State, any rational trier offact could find beyond a reasonable doubt that Garcia and her associates entered the container unlawfully withthe intentto take property.

7 However, as discussed- above, we accept the State' s concession that insufficient evidence supports one ofthe alternative means of conviction, and we reverse and remand Garcia' s second degree burglary conviction on this ground. 12Consol. Nos. 43549 - 7 -II /43562 -

4 -II /44390 -

2 -II /43654 -

0 -II C. FIRST DEGREE TRAFFICKING IN STOLEN PROPERTY 

### To prove first degree trafficking in stolen property, the State must offer evidence that Garcia, either as aprincipal or an accomplice, knowingly initiated, organized, planned, financed, 

### directed, managed, or supervised the theft ofproperty for sale to others, or knowinglytrafficked in stolen property. RCW 9A.82.050. " 

### Trafficking" means to sell, transfer, distribute, dispense, 

### or otherwise dispose of stolen property to another person, or to buy, receive, possess, or obtain 

### control ofstolen property with intentto sell,transfer, distribute, dispense, orotherwise dispose of property to anotherperson. RCW 9A.82.010(19). Here,the State presented ample evidence from which thejury could reasonably inferthat Garcia engaged as a principal or accomplice in trafficking stolen property. For example, White testified that no one besides himselfand realtors had permission to be on the gated property with 

### posted no trespassing signs, but he saw Garcia walking out from inside the property's storage
container. 

### In addition to seeing Garcia exit the container, White saw Garcia's associates in the carport and storage container, and he saw Horner toss something back into the carport when Horner first saw White. 

### White characterized Garcia as looking nervous and scaredwhen she exited the storage container and saw him, and then she . hurried toward Homer' s truck. Deputy Casebolt and White both explained that since the prior night, someone had removed items from 

### the property, and some ofthose metal items, including tools,were now in thetruck. 

### Though Cole initiallytold Deputy Caseboltthattheywere atthe property to clean itfora foreclosure sale, Deputy Casebolt testified that foreclosure clean - up businesses typically have business licenses, equipment, uniforms, keys, or other indicia of a legitimate operation. Here, 

### Garcia and her associates lacked any indicia of a legitimate business; moreover, the home was not in foreclosure. 13Consol. Nos. 43549 - 7 -II /43562 -

4 -I1 / 44390 -

2 -1I / 43654 -

0 -1I 

### Also, Deputy Casebolt found receipts in Horner's truck showing that Garcia, as well as Horner and Dunham, had recently sold scrap metal to metal recyclers. Knecht testified that 

### Garcia was known as a regular metal recycler at Valley Recycling; and following the October 15 

### incident at the property involved here, Garcia called Valley Recycling to ask someone whether 

### the police had called and iftheyhadtoldthe police anything abouther. 

### Viewing this evidence in a light most favorable to the State, any rational trier offact could find beyond a reasonable doubt that Garcia and her associates knowingly sold stolen property for scrap, thus committing first degree trafficking in stolen property. Accordingly, we 

### affirm Garcia's first degreetrafficking conviction. See Salinas, 119 Wn.2d at 201. D. THIRD DEGREE THEFT To prove third degree theft, the State was required to offer evidence that Garcia
committed theft of property or services which did not exceed $ 750 in value. RCW 9A.56. 050. In this context, " theft" means to wrongfully obtain or exert unauthorized control over the 

### property ofanotherorthe value thereofwith intentto deprive the owner ofsuch property. RCW 9A.56:020( 1)( a). 

### Here, the State presented ample evidence from which the jury could find that Garcia engaged as a principal or accomplice in theft. Again,White testified that no one besides himself 

### and realtors had permission to be on the gated property with posted no trespassing signs, but he spotted Garcia walking out from inside the property' s storage container. White characterized 

### Garcia as looking nervous and scared when she exited the storage container and saw White, and

14Consol. Nos. 43549 - 7 -II /43562 -

then she hurried toward Horner' s truck — a truck which had license plates that did not match its
vehicle identification number. 

### Deputy Casebolt and White both explained that since the prior 

### night, someone had removed items from the property, and some ofthose missing metal items, including tools,were now in Garcia' s associate' s truck. 

### Viewing this evidence in a light most favorable to the State, any rational trier of fact could find beyond a reasonable doubt that Garcia and her associates trespassed onto the property
and were taking metal items, including tools. Therefore, Garcia wrongfully obtained control 

### overthe property ofanother and she did so with the intentto deprive the owner ofthat property. RCW 9A.56.020( 1)( a). Accordingly, we affirm Garcia' s third degree theft conviction. See Salinas, 119 Wn.2d at 201. V. INEFFECTIVE ASSISTANCE

Cole argues that her counsel provided ineffective assistance when he failed to ( 1) 

### adequately investigate this case and (2) call awitnessthatwould have rebutted one ofthe State's
witnesses. Because Coles' s argument rests on matters outside the record, we do not consider it. Cole contends that her counsel offered ineffective assistance because he failed to adequately - investigate. She asserts that she has never been to Commercial Metal Recycle and that had her 

### attorney adequately investigated, hewould have been able to provethat she had neverbeen there because no receipts ever linked her to that recycle center. Cole' s argument that there is evidence that (1) Cole has never been to Commercial Metal Recycle, (

### 2) her attorney failed to investigate, and (3) there are no receipts linking her to that

recycle center rests on evidence outside the record. But we may consider only arguments that 

### are supported by the record before us and we cannot address matters outside the record on direct appeal. State v. McFarland, 127 Wn.2d 322, 338 n.5, 899 P.2d 1251 ( 1995). Accordingly, we do not considerthis argument further. Next, Cole argues that defense counsel failed to call another officer besides Deputy Casebolt who was at the property when Deputy Casebolt arrived. Cole contends that this unidentified officer would have testified that Cole and Garcia did not emerge from the storage container, but instead came from behind it after relieving themselves. She asserts that the 

### defendants asked their attorneys to call this unidentified officer, but "they said we didn't need them." Statement of Additional Grounds ( Cole) at 3. Because neither the unidentified officer' s knowledge nor the defense counsel' s discussion with the appellants about calling this unidentified officer appear in the record, Cole presents no argument based on facts in the record. 

### Because Cole's argument is not supported bythe record,we declineto consider it. Cole also contends that defense counsel failed to adequately investigate because he failed 

### to inquire about Horner's deceased uncle's wrecking yard and had he investigated, he would have learned that the now - closed wrecking yard had plenty of scrap metal that the appellants

were 

### legitimately recycling. 

### Contrary to Cole's assertion, however, his defense counsel called a witness who testified that Horner's uncle' s defunct wrecking yard had plenty of scrap metal. 

### Cole does not demonstrate that defense counsel failed to adequately investigate or uncover Homer' s uncle' s defunct wrecking yard.
