Description:
Martin Garcia-Cardiel appeals his convictions on nineteen counts of aggravated sexual abuse of a child. First, he argues the trial court plainly erred and his trial counsel (Counsel) was ineffective for permitting an expert to testify about delayed reporting in child abuse cases. Second, he argues the trial court erred by overruling his objection to the detective's (Detective) testimony that she was not surprised that Garcia-Cardiel's family denied the abuse because they spoke with his lawyer and received legal advice. Finally, he filed a rule 23B motion seeking a remand to develop the record on his claim that Counsel was ineffective for not offering a competing translation of a jail phone call between Garcia-Cardiel and his family
