22A-PC-2053
Post-conviction relief. Affirms the DeKalb Superior Court’s denial of Steven Malloch’s petition for post-conviction relief.

Also finds Bohdan didn’t perform deficiently when he did not call a sleep expert who could not provide an opinion supportive of Malloch or a sleep expert who would have been a reluctant and equivocal witness at best.
