Description
At the age of fifteen, Rodney Boyko was convicted of the murder of Lester Clouse and sentenced to 35 years in prison. His conviction was affirmed on direct appeal by the Indiana Court of Appeals, see Boyko v. State, 566 N.E.2d 1060 (Ind. Ct. App. 1991), and he did not petition for transfer to the Indiana Supreme Court. Mr. Boyko then filed a petition for post-conviction relief in which he alleged, inter alia, that his trial counsel was constitutionally ineffective in failing to consider and to raise certain defenses. After holding an evidentiary hearing on the matter, the Indiana trial court denied Mr. Boykos petition. The Indiana Court of Appeals affirmed that denial, and the Indiana Supreme Court denied Mr. Boykos petition for transfer.
