Before GOLDEN, C.J., and THOMAS, CARDINE, MACY, and TAYLOR, JJ.


GOLDEN, Justice.

In this case we determine whether appellant's jury conviction and sentences for three counts of second-degree sexual assault and one count of indecent liberties with a minor require reversal because trial counsel's decisions concerning expert testimony violated his right to effective assistance of counsel. For the reasons explained below, we hold that reversal is not required.
