United States Eighth Circuit

Defendant's claim of a denial of his right to testify, raised as part of an ineffective assistance of counsel claim, failed because the defendant did not show how he was prejudiced; Apprendi claim, raised for the first time in a motion for reconsideration of denial of habeas relief, was untimely.
