North Dakota v. Ismail
Annotate this CaseZhiwar Ismail appealed after he was convicted on two counts of possession and delivery of a controlled substance. He argued on appeal he received ineffective assistance of counsel based on his attorney’s failure to move for acquittal on all charges, and for failing to make certain objections at trial. Further, Ismail argued the trial court improperly questioned witnesses. Finding no reversible error in the trial court proceedings, and that his counsel did not render constitutionally ineffective assistance, the North Dakota Supreme Court affirmed Ismail’s convictions.
