v.
KIMBERLY OLGA COLE,
Appellant.
JOHANSON, J. — A jury found Kimberly O. Cole, Johnny E. Dunham, Lynita W. Garcia,
and Michael L. Horner guilty of second degree burglary, first degree trafficking in stolen
1
property, and third degree theft. They now appeal from their convictions. Horner, Dunham,
and Cole each challenge the constitutionality of our accomplice liability statute and the adequacy
of their charging information regarding their trafficking charges. Further, each appellant alleges
that the State committed prosecutorial misconduct relating to their second degree burglary
convictions or, in the alternative, that insufficient evidence supported those convictions.
Additionally, Garcia claims that the State failed to offer sufficient evidence to support her
convictions and Cole claims ineffective assistance of counsel.
We accept the State' s concession that insufficient evidence supports one of the alternative
means of committing second degree burglary. Accordingly, we reverse the burglary convictions,

and remand for retrial. We affirm the remaining convictions because our accomplice liability

FACTS
In October 2011, Thurston County Sheriff' s Deputy Jason Casebolt responded to a 911
burglary call. The property owner had died and the now - acant property, including a home,
v
detached barn, open carport, and storage container, had been subject to recent burglaries. The
deceased had collected scrap metal and equipment that attracted looters and metal scrappers to
the property. The main access driveway was gated, locked, and featured a no trespassing sign.
The property had a back road, which was also posted with a no trespassing sign, although it had
been knocked to the side. Upon arriving, Deputy Casebolt saw a man— later identified as the
911 caller, William White— sitting in his vehicle which was parked behind Horner' s vehicle,
preventing it from moving. White, the property' s caretaker, called 911 when he saw an unknown
vehicle with four individuals —later identified as Cole, Dunham, Garcia, and Horner - walking in
and around the carport and the opened storage container.
The night before this incident, White had staged certain items so he could see whether
items had been moved or taken. The next day, White noticed the no trespassing sign was no
longer where he had posted it the night before. White saw Horner walk out of the carport, turn
back toward the carport and throw something inside it. Horner immediately got in his truck and
started to back it up. At this time, White saw Dunham exit the storage container, and hurry to the
passenger side of Horner' s truck. To prevent Horner from leaving, White positioned his truck to
block Horner' s truck. White then saw Cole and Garcia walk out of the storage container towards
Horner' s truck; according to White, both women looked nervous, scared, and hurried. White
recognized several items from the property in Horner' s truck. Deputy Casebolt obtained a search
3
Consol. Nos. 43549 -7 -II / 43562 -4 -II / 44390 -2 -II / 43654 -0 -II
warrant for Horner' s truck and found scrap metal receipts with the appellants' names on them.
The State charged the defendants with second degree burglary, first degree trafficking in stolen
property, and third degree theft.
At trial, White testified that only he and realtors were authorized to be on the property.
Employees from two scrap metal recyclers testified that they recognized the appellants as metal
scrappers who had sold scrap metal for cash. Kimberly Knecht, the manager at Valley
Recycling, testified that after the incident, Garcia phoned Valley Recycling asking if the police
had called about her. Garcia wanted to know what the recycling center told the police.
Commercial Metal Recycle' s Michael Holman testified that Cole usually visited the recycle
center with Dunham. Additionally, Deputy Casebolt found Dunham' s, Garcia' s, and Horner' s
names on scrap metal recycling receipts in Horner' s truck.
Deputy Casebolt testified that a very nervous Cole explained to him that she was at the
deceased' s property because her friend had called her to go clean it up because it was in
foreclosure. Deputy Casebolt said that Dunham and Horner told him they were just there to ride
along or help Cole Though Cole initially told Deputy Casebolt that they were at the property to
clean it for a foreclosure sale, Deputy Casebolt testified that foreclosure cleanup businesses
typically have business licenses, equipment, uniforms, keys, or other indicia of a legitimate
operation, which this group lacked.
Dunham, Garcia, and Horner all testified that they were at the property due to Cole' s
foreclosure clean -
up bid. Dunham also admitted that he had seen the no trespassing sign posted
at the main entrance at the front of the property. Garcia testified that she never entered the
storage container and never picked anything up. Horner testified that the tools in his truck were
his own and not taken from the property. Cole did not testify.

The trial court instructed the jury that it could find the defendants guilty as principals or
accomplices.
During rebuttal closing, the prosecutor argued,
I' m going to ask you to convict all four of these defendants with burglary in the
second degree.
There is no question that they entered a building, any of them.
The carport constitutes a building, the storage container constitutes a building,
and the fenced area, that yard, it does constitute a building by definition. There' s
nothing in your instructions that says the fencing must touch all the way around, it
says fenced area and that' s it, and I submit to you that' s exactly what occurred
here.
5 Report of Proceedings at 808 -09. The jury found the defendants guilty as charged. They now
appeal.
ANALYSIS
I. ACCOMPLICE LIABILITY STATUTE, RCW 9A.08. 020
Cole, Horner, and Dunham argue that Washington' s accomplice liability statute, RCW
9A.08. 020, is unconstitutionally overbroad. The appellants argue that Washington' s accomplice
liability statute does not meet the standard set forth in Brandenburg v. Ohio, 395 U.S. 444, 447,
89 S. Ct. 1827, 23 L. Ed. 2d 430 ( 1969).- Because " aid" is not defined -in the statute, the
appellants argue that the statute criminalizes speech other than that "` directed to inciting or
producing imminent lawless action. Br. of Appellant ( Horner) at 8 ( quoting Brandenburg, 395
U. S. at 447). Because we have consistently held that our accomplice statute is not
unconstitutionally overbroad in this respect, we disagree with the appellants' argument.
Constitutional questions are issues of law and we review them de novo. State v.
Gresham, 173 Wn.2d 405, 419, 269 P. 3d 207 ( 2012).
In State v. Ferguson, we rejected this same challenge to RCW 9A.08. 020( 3)( a). 164 Wn.
App. 370, 375 -76, 264 P. 3d 575 ( 2011) ( citing State v. Coleman, 155 Wn. App. 951, 960 -61, 231
5
Consol. Nos. 43549 -7 -II / 43562 - -II / 44390 -2 -II / 43654 -0 -II
4
P. 3d 212 ( 2010), review denied, 170 Wn.2d 1016 ( 2011)), review denied, 173 Wn.2d 10352012). In Coleman, Division One of this court held that
t] he accomplice liability statute ... requires the criminal mens rea to aid or agree
to aid the commission of a specific crime with knowledge that the aid will further
the crime. Therefore, by the statute' s text, its sweep avoids protected speech
activities that are not performed in aid of a crime and that only consequentially
further the crime.
155 Wn. App. at 960 -61. In Ferguson, we adopted the Coleman reasoning and addressed the
Brandenburg standard, holding that "[ b] ecause the statute' s language forbids advocacy directed
at and likely to incite or produce imminent lawless action, it does not forbid the mere advocacy
of law violation that is protected under the holding of Brandenburg." 164 Wn. App. at 376. The
appellants here do not demonstrate why we should not adhere to our Ferguson decision and
analysis. Accordingly, the constitutional challenge to the accomplice liability statute fails.
II. ADEQUACY OF INFORMATION
Next, Cole, Horner, and Dunham argue that their charging information provided
inadequate notice for the trafficking charge, violating their Sixth and Fourteenth Amendment
rights as well as their article I, section 22 rights under the Washington Constitution. They assert
that the information failed to allege that they " knowingly" trafficked stolen property. Because
the charging information included all of the offense' s essential elements, this argument fails.
A. STANDARD OF REVIEW AND RULES OF LAW
We review challenges to the sufficiency of a charging document de novo. State v.
Williams, 162 Wn.2d 177, 182, 170 P. 3d 30 ( 2007). The Sixth Amendment to the United States
Constitution provides in part, " In all ... prosecutions, the accused shall ... be informed of the
nature and cause of the accusation." Article I, section 22 of the Washington Constitution
Consol. Nos. 43549 -7 -II / 43562 -4 -II / 44390 -2 -II / 43654 -0 -II
provides in part, " In criminal prosecutions the accused shall have the right ... to demand the
nature and cause of the accusation against him."
An appellant may challenge the constitutional sufficiency of a charging document for the
first time on appeal. State v. Kjorsvik, 117 Wn.2d 93, 102, 812 P. 2d 86 ( 1991). But where the
appellant challenges the information' s sufficiency for the first time on appeal, we construe the
document liberally in favor of validity. State v. Brown, 169 Wn.2d 195, 197, 234 P. 3d 2122010). Under this liberal construction rule, we will uphold the charging document if an
element may be " fairly implied" from the document' s language. Kjorsvik,
apparently missing
117 Wn.2d at 104. We ask, "( 1) [ D] o the necessary facts appear in any form, or by fair
construction can they be found, in the charging document; and, if so, ( 2) can the defendant show
that he or she was nonetheless actually prejudiced by the inartful language which caused a lack
3
of notice ? " Kjorsvik, 117 Wn.2d at 105 -06. We read the charging document as a whole,
according to common sense and including implied facts. State v. Nonog, 169 Wn.2d 220, 227,
237 P. 3d 250 ( 2010).
B. ANALYSIS .
To establish first degree trafficking in stolen property, the State must prove that a person
knowingly initiates, organizes, plans, finances, directs, manages, or supervises the theft of
property for sale to others, or who knowingly traffics in stolen property." RCW 9A. 82. 050( 1).
Traffic" means to sell, transfer, distribute, dispense, or otherwise dispose of stolen property to
another person, or to buy, receive, possess, or obtain control of stolen property with intent to sell,
3
Appellants do not address whether, if "knowingly" can be fairly implied from the charging
document, there was nonetheless actual prejudice. We decide cases only on the basis of issues
set forth by the parties in their briefs. RAP 12. 1( a); State v. Johnson, 119 Wn.2d 167, 171, 829
P. 2d 1082 ( 1992). Accordingly, we do not discuss the second prong of Kjorsvik.
7
Consol. Nos. 43549 -7 -II / 43562 -4 -II / 44390 -2 -II / 43654 -0 -II
transfer, distribute, dispense, or otherwise dispose of the property to another person. RCW
9A.82. 010( 19).
Here, the appellants' charging information stated that each defendant
did knowingly initiate, organize, plan, finance, direct, manage, or supervise the
theft of property for sale to others, and /or did knowingly sell, transfer, distribute,
dispense, or otherwise dispose of stolen property to another person or to buy,
receive, possess, or obtain control of stolen property, with intent to sell, transfer,
distribute, dispense, or otherwise dispose of the property to another person.
Clerk' s Papers ( CP) ( Dunham) at 6; CP ( Cole) at 3; CP ( Horner) at 4; CP ( Garcia) at 6.
The appellants contend, however, that the information failed to include " knowingly"
before the last alternative listed ( " or to buy, receive, possess, or obtain control of stolen
property "), whereas each of the other listed alternatives included " knowingly." Because the
appellants did not challenge the charging documents at trial, they must show that the charging
documents failed to include a necessary fact, and that the absence of the necessary fact actually
prejudiced them at trial. See Kjorsvik, 117 Wn.2d at 105 -06.
We review the charging documents to see whether the missing element could be fairly
implied from the document' s language. Kjorsvik, 117 Wn.2d at - 104. Here, the charging
document twice stated that in order to be found guilty of trafficking in stolen property,
knowingly" must be proved. The appellants, however, want to disconnect the phrasing
following " or otherwise dispose of stolen property to another person" and before " or to buy,
receive, possess." But this requires a strained reading of the information' s language because
is that these two intended to be One
there no punctuation indicating phrases are read separately.
8
Consol. Nos. 43549 -7 -II / 43562 -4 -II / 44390 -2 -II / 43654 -0 -II
can fairly infer that the second " knowingly" in the charging document modified each of the verbs
that followed it such that " knowingly" is fairly implied when read in context.4
Absent a showing of an inadequate charging document, the appellants do not demonstrate
any reversible error.
III. INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE OF ALTERNATIVE MEANS OF BURGLARY
Appellants next argue that the prosecutor committed misconduct by misrepresenting the
law when she argued that the defendants could be convicted of second degree burglary by
entering a partially fenced area. Although the appellants originally characterized the argument as
one of prosecutorial misconduct, the appellants agreed with the State that the issue was equally
capable of redress on sufficiency grounds. Wash. Court of Appeals oral argument, State v.
Horner et. al, No. 43549 -7 -II (Feb. 19, 2014), at. 7 min., 15 sec. — 7 min., 55 sec. ( on file with
court).
A defendant commits second degree burglary when she or he enters or remains
unlawfully in a building other than a vehicle or dwelling, with the intent to commit a crime
therein. RCW 9A:52. 030( 1).- A "building" includes any dwelling, fenced area, vehicle; railway
car, cargo container, or any other structure used for lodging of persons or for carrying on
business therein, or for the use, sale, or deposit of goods. RCW 9A.04. 110( 5). When alternative
4 Furthermore, in Kjorsvik, the court concluded that the accused suffered no actual prejudice
because the " to convict" instruction contained the element that was missing from the charging
information. Kjorsvik, 117 Wn. 2d at 111. Similarly here, the " to convict" jury instruction
regarding the trafficking charge expressly provided that in order to convict the appellants for
trafficking stolen property, the jury needed to find that ( 1) " the defendant or an accomplice
knowingly trafficked in stolen property "; and ( 2) "[ t]hat the defendant knew the property was
stolen." CP ( Dunham) at 64; CP ( Horner) at 25 -28. Thus, the trial court instructed the jury that
any conviction for trafficking in stolen property required proof beyond a reasonable doubt that
the appellants " knowingly" trafficked in stolen property.
9
Consol. Nos. 43549 -7 -II / 43562 -4 -1I / 44390 - -II / 43654 -0 -II

means of committing a single offense are presented to a jury, each alternative means must be
supported by substantial evidence in order to safeguard a defendant' s right to a unanimous jury
determination. State v. Garcia, _ Wn.2d _, 318 P. 3d 266, 271 ( 2014).
Here, the trial court instructed the jury, " Building, in addition to its ordinary meaning,
includes any fenced area or cargo container." CP ( Horner) at 14. Accordingly, the jury was
instructed that it could convict the defendants if it determined that they entered or remained
unlawfully in either a building on the property, a fenced area, or in the cargo container, with the
intent to commit a crime.
The State concedes . that no evidence demonstrates that a combination of fencing and
structures enclosed the entire property as is required under State v. Engel, 166 Wn.2d 572, 210
P. 3d 1007 ( 2009). The Engel court held that " fenced area" included curtilage that is either
completely enclosed by fencing or is enclosed by a combination of fencing and other structures.
166 Wn.2d at 580. The partially fenced area without structures filling gaps in the fencing did not
create an enclosure and thus did not constitute a " building." Therefore, sufficient evidence did
not support the fenced area means by which the jury could have found the defendants guilty in its
general verdict. Accordingly, we accept the State' s concession and reverse and remand the
5
second degree burglary convictioris.
Because we reverse on this ground we do not reach the appellants' prosecutorial misconduct
argument.
10
Consol. Nos. 43549 -7 -II / 43562 -4 -II / 44390 -2 -II / 43654 -0 -II
IV. GARCIA' S INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE CLAIMS
Garcia argues that the State offered insufficient evidence for the jury to find her guilty as
6
a principal or an accomplice of second degree burglary, first degree trafficking in stolen
property, and third degree theft. We disagree.
A. STANDARD OF REVIEW AND RULES OF LAW
We review claims of insufficient evidence to determine whether, after viewing the
evidence in the light most favorable to the State, any rational trier of fact could have found guilt
beyond a reasonable doubt. State v. Salinas, 119 Wn. 2d 192, 201, 829 P. 2d 1068 ( 1992). We
draw all reasonable inferences from the evidence in favor of the State and against the defendant.
Salinas, 119 Wn.2d at 201. A sufficiency challenge admits the truth of the State' s evidence and
all reasonable inferences from it. State v. Therf, 25 Wn. App. 590, 593, 608 P. 2d 1254, aff'd,
95 Wn. 2d 385, 622 P. 2d 1240 ( 1980). We leave credibility determinations to the fact finder and
do not review them on appeal. State v. Camarillo, 115 Wn.2d 60, 71, 794 P. 2d 850 ( 1990).
B. SECOND DEGREE BURGLARY
A-defendant commits second degree burglary when she enters or remains unlawfully in a
dwelling the intent to commit a crime therein. RCW
building other than a vehicle or with
9A.52. 030( 1). A " building" includes any dwelling, fenced area, vehicle, railway car, cargo
container, or any other structure used for lodging of persons or for carrying on business therein,
or for the use, sale, or deposit of goods. RCW 9A.04. 110( 5). Therefore, the State was required
to prove that Garcia ( 1) entered or remained unlawfully in a building other than a vehicle or
6 Although we reverse and remand Garcia' s burglary conviction for retrial, we address Garcia' s
argument contesting the sufficiency of the evidence against her because Garcia would be entitled
to dismissal with prejudice if she were to prevail on those grounds.
11
Consol. Nos. 43549 -7 -II / 43562 -4 -11 / 44390 -2 -11 / 43654 -0 -I1
dwelling, and ( 2) that she did so with the intent to commit a crime against a person or property
therein. Alternatively, the State could also prove that Garcia was criminally liable for the
burglary as an accomplice by showing that Garcia, with knowledge that it would promote or
facilitate the commission of the crime, either ( 1) solicited, commanded, encouraged, or requested
the other person to commit the crime; or ( 2) aided or agreed to aid such other person in planning
or committing it. RCW 9A.08. 020; State v. Roberts, 142 Wn.2d 471, 502, 14 P. 3d 713 ( 2000).
Here, the State presented evidence from which any rational jury could have found that
Garcia engaged in second degree burglary as a principal or an accomplice beyond a reasonable
doubt. Garcia was seen exiting the storage container on property that featured a no trespassing
sign and on which no one other than White and realtors were allowed. Because she was
trespassing and was not licensed or otherwise privileged to be inside the container, Garcia' s
entry was unlawful. RCW 9A.52. 010( 5). White noticed that Garcia appeared nervous as she
exited the container and also that she hurried towards Horner' s truck, which contained items
previously removed from the property without authorization. Knecht testified that Garcia was
known as a regular metal recycler at Valley Recycling, and following the October 15 incident at
the property involved here, Garcia called Valley Recycling to ask someone whether the police
had called and if they had told the police anything about her. Viewing this evidence in a light
most favorable to the State, any rational trier of fact could find beyond a reasonable doubt that
Garcia and her associates entered the container unlawfully with the intent to take property.
7 However, as discussed- above, we accept the State' s concession that insufficient evidence
supports one of the alternative means of conviction, and we reverse and remand Garcia' s second
degree burglary conviction on this ground.
12
Consol. Nos. 43549 -7 -II / 43562 -4 -II / 44390 -2 -II / 43654 -0 -II
C. FIRST DEGREE TRAFFICKING IN STOLEN PROPERTY
To prove first degree trafficking in stolen property, the State must offer evidence that
Garcia, either as a principal or an accomplice, knowingly initiated, organized, planned, financed,
directed, managed, or supervised the theft of property for sale to others, or knowingly trafficked
in stolen property. RCW 9A. 82. 050. " Trafficking" means to sell, transfer, distribute, dispense,
or otherwise dispose of stolen property to another person, or to buy, receive, possess, or obtain
control of stolen property with intent to sell, transfer, distribute, dispense, or otherwise dispose of
property to another person. RCW 9A.82. 010( 19).
Here, the State presented ample evidence from which the jury could reasonably infer that
Garcia engaged as a principal or accomplice in trafficking stolen property. For example, White
testified that no one besides himself and realtors had permission to be on the gated property with
posted no trespassing signs, but he saw Garcia walking out from inside the property' s storage
container. In addition to seeing Garcia exit the container, White saw Garcia' s associates in the
carport and storage container, and he saw Horner toss something back into the carport when
Horner first saw White. White characterized Garcia as looking nervous and scared when she
exited the storage container and saw him, and then she .hurried toward Homer' s truck. Deputy
Casebolt and White both explained that since the prior night, someone had removed items from
the property, and some of those metal items, including tools, were now in the truck.
Though Cole initially told Deputy Casebolt that they were at the property to clean it for a
foreclosure sale, Deputy Casebolt testified that foreclosure clean -up businesses typically have
business licenses, equipment, uniforms, keys, or other indicia of a legitimate operation. Here,
Garcia and her associates lacked any indicia of a legitimate business; moreover, the home was
not in foreclosure.
13
Consol. Nos. 43549 -7 -II / 43562 -4 -I1 / 44390 -2 -1I / 43654 -0 -1I
Also, Deputy Casebolt found receipts in Horner' s truck showing that Garcia, as well as
Horner and Dunham, had recently sold scrap metal to metal recyclers. Knecht testified that
Garcia was known as a regular metal recycler at Valley Recycling; and following the October 15
incident at the property involved here, Garcia called Valley Recycling to ask someone whether
the police had called and if they had told the police anything about her.
Viewing this evidence in a light most favorable to the State, any rational trier of fact
could find beyond a reasonable doubt that Garcia and her associates knowingly sold stolen
property for scrap, thus committing first degree trafficking in stolen property. Accordingly, we
affirm Garcia' s first degree trafficking conviction. See Salinas, 119 Wn.2d at 201.
D. THIRD DEGREE THEFT
To prove third degree theft, the State was required to offer evidence that Garcia
committed theft of property or services which did not exceed $ 750 in value. RCW 9A. 56. 050.
In this context, " theft" means to wrongfully obtain or exert unauthorized control over the
property of another or the value thereof with intent to deprive the owner of such property. RCW
9A.56: 020( 1)( a).
Here, the State presented ample evidence from which the jury could find that Garcia
engaged as a principal or accomplice in theft. Again, White testified that no one besides himself
and realtors had permission to be on the gated property with posted no trespassing signs, but he
spotted Garcia walking out from inside the property' s storage container. White characterized
Garcia as looking nervous and scared when she exited the storage container and saw White, and
14
Consol. Nos. 43549 -7 -II / 43562 -4 -II / 44390 -2 -II / 43654 -0 -II
then she hurried toward Horner' s truck —a truck which had license plates that did not match its
vehicle identification number. Deputy Casebolt and White both explained that since the prior
night, someone had removed items from the property, and some of those missing metal items,
including tools, were now in Garcia' s associate' s truck.
Viewing this evidence in a light most favorable to the State, any rational trier of fact
could find beyond a reasonable doubt that Garcia and her associates trespassed onto the property
and were taking metal items, including tools. Therefore, Garcia wrongfully obtained control
over the property of another and she did so with the intent to deprive the owner of that property.
RCW 9A.56. 020( 1)( a). Accordingly, we affirm Garcia' s third degree theft conviction. See
Salinas, 119 Wn.2d at 201.
V. INEFFECTIVE ASSISTANCE
Cole argues that her counsel provided ineffective assistance when he failed to ( 1)
adequately investigate this case and ( 2) call a witness that would have rebutted one of the State' s
witnesses. Because Coles' s argument rests on matters outside the record, we do not consider it.
Cole contends that her counsel offered ineffective assistance because he failed to adequately -
investigate. She asserts that she has never been to Commercial Metal Recycle and that had her
attorney adequately investigated, he would have been able to prove that she had never been there
because no receipts ever linked her to that recycle center.
Cole' s argument that there is evidence that ( 1) Cole has never been to Commercial Metal
Recycle, ( 2) her attorney failed to investigate, and ( 3) there are no receipts linking her to that
15
Consol. Nos. 43549 -7 -I1 / 43562 -4 -I1 / 44390 -2 -I1 / 43654 -0 -II
recycle center rests on evidence outside the record. But we may consider only arguments that
are supported by the record before us and we cannot address matters outside the record on direct
appeal. State v. McFarland, 127 Wn.2d 322, 338 n. 5, 899 P. 2d 1251 ( 1995). Accordingly, we
do not consider this argument further.
Next, Cole argues that defense counsel failed to call another officer besides Deputy
Casebolt who was at the property when Deputy Casebolt arrived. Cole contends that this
unidentified officer would have testified that Cole and Garcia did not emerge from the storage
container, but instead came from behind it after relieving themselves. She asserts that the
defendants asked their attorneys to call this unidentified officer, but " they said we didn' t need
them." Statement of Additional Grounds ( Cole) at 3. Because neither the unidentified officer' s
knowledge nor the defense counsel' s discussion with the appellants about calling this
unidentified officer appear in the record, Cole presents no argument based on facts in the record.
Because Cole' s argument is not supported by the record, we decline to consider it.
Cole also contends that defense counsel failed to adequately investigate because he failed
to inquire about Horner' s deceased uncle' s wrecking yard and had he investigated, he would
have learned that the now -
closed wrecking yard had plenty of scrap metal that the appellants
were legitimately recycling. Contrary to Cole' s assertion, however, his defense counsel called a
witness who testified that Horner' s uncle' s defunct wrecking yard had plenty of scrap metal.
Cole does not demonstrate that defense counsel failed to adequately investigate or uncover
Homer' s uncle' s defunct wrecking yard. Accordingly, Cole' s ineffective assistance of counsel
