“To establish a claim of meffective assistance of counsel, a defendant must demonstrate both deficient representation by counsel and prejudice caused by the deficient representation. Sampson v. State, 506 N.W.2d 722 (N.D.1993). The burden of proving an Meffective assistance of counsel claim is on the defendant and, m reviewmg the claim, we are mindful that it is for trial counsel and not the trial courts to determme trial strategy and tactics. State v. Wilson, 488 N.W.2d 618 (N.D.1992). Consequently, there is a strong presumption that counsel’s conduct falls withrn the wide range of reasonable professional assistance. State v. Zeno, 490 N.W.2d 711 (N.D.1992). We will not second guess an unsuccessful counsel’s defense strategy through the distorting effects of Mndsight. See Houle v. State, 482 N.W.2d 24 (N.D.1992).”
