Charles SPELLS v. COMMISSIONER OF CORRECTION.

Appellate Court of Connecticut.

Decided June 3, 2008.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

James M. Fox, special public defender, for the appellant (petitioner).

Robin S. Schwartz, assistant state's attorney, with whom, on the brief, were John A. Connelly, state's attorney, and John J. Davenport, senior assistant state's attorney, for the appellee (respondent).

LAVINE, BEACH and PETERS, Js.

LAVINE, J.

The petitioner, Charles Spells, appeals from the judgment of the habeas court denying his petition for a writ of habeas corpus. On appeal, he claims that the court improperly concluded that his trial counsel did not render ineffective assistance by failing (1) to seek the recusal of the trial court and (2) to test certain hair samples in time to offer the results as evidence. We affirm the judgment of the habeas court.
