State v. Haas

Summary

The court affirmed Haas' conviction and 40-to-50-year sentence after concluding that the district court did not abuse its discretion in accepting his no contest plea or imposing sentence. The court held that the record supported Haas' competence and voluntary plea, that several ineffective-assistance claims were either meritless, insufficiently specific, or unresolvable on direct appeal, and that his sentence was within statutory limits and not an abuse of discretion.
