Description:
Lorry Van Chase made application for postconviction relief.
* * *
In December 2023, the district court held an evidentiary hearing on Chase's allegations of newly discovered evidence. Regarding the medical record, Chase conceded that-upon review of the evidentiary hearing held on Chase's first application for postconviction relief-it was clear that Chase's trial attorney had in fact received the medical record before trial. Although Chase argued that his trial attorney's failure to use the medical record to impeach the victim was "a big issue for an ineffective assistance of counsel [claim]," he conceded that "by definition, we can't call it newly discovered evidence." The State also offered the testimony of Kelly Albertson, who was an assistant in the prosecutor's office during Chase's criminal case, as foundation for two documents showing that Chase's trial attorney had received the medical record before trial.
