Heading: Failure to determine whose shoes were at Holliday's apartment

Text: ¶ 61. Reynolds argues that trial counsel should have developed the size and style of a pair of shoes found at Holliday's apartment to determine if they belonged to Holliday, Reynolds or maybe someone else who could have been at the apartment when Holliday was shot. She also contends that DNA testing should have been done on the shoes to determine if they might have belonged to the another person at the scene rather than Holliday or Reynolds. Reynolds's statement to the police was that she saw no one else at Holliday's apartment when the victim was shot. No witnesses testified or gave statements that they saw anyone else at the apartment when the victim was shot. The record does not support that trial counsel was deficient in failing to develop this line of investigation. We find this assignment of error does not support a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel.
