## Opinion text

WICKERSHAM, Judge,
dissenting:
I would affirm the judgment of sentence.
It is clear from the record that trial counsel gave consideration to calling Deborah Dalton as a witness but that there was a Fifth Amendment problem as she was subject to trial on similar charges. It is not clear that she was a material witness for the defense.
