People v. Brennan

Defendant was convicted of three counts of child abduction after he repeatedly refused to return his minor children to their mother after the expiration of his permitted visits. Defendant appealed, arguing that the evidence was not sufficient to convict him that the trial court committed evidentiary errors, and that he received ineffective assistance of counsel. The appellate court affirmed, finding that the evidence was sufficient, that the trial court did not err in its admission or consideration of the evidence, and that defendant’s claims regarding ineffective assistance of counsel either lacked merit or were not supported by the record. (McLAREN and JORGENSEN, concurring and McLAREN, specially concurring).
