Text: ś 109 Dawson argues that his counsel were ineffective because they did not offer expert testimony on the issues of Dawson's drug ingestion and Dawson's head injuries and EEG tests. ś 110 As previously discussed, Dawson's counsel's decision not to call Dr. Watkins on the issue of Dawson's drug ingestion did not amount to ineffective assistance of counsel. Likewise, Dawson's counsel's decision to not further explore or present expert testimony on the issue of Dawson's two minor head injuries and Dawson's EEG tests, as discussed previously, did not amount to ineffective assistance of counsel. Accordingly, we conclude that the District Court did not err when it found that Dawson's counsel's decision to not present expert testimony on these issues did not amount to ineffective assistance of counsel.
