1. “The record does suggest (although it does not conclusively establish) that the hearing participants were not aware that State immunity would extend to a federal prosecution. However, according to Hagen’s statements in the record, his decision not to testify was based on advice given by an unnamed previously-consulted attorney. Whether Hagen’s refusal is excused by ineffective assistance of counsel may depend on that advice. A hearing would be required to ascertain the facts, such as exactly what advice was given, by whom and when, and based on what information. It is also unclear what, if any, advice the assigned public defender gave Hagen, what weight he gave it, and whether this counsel’s representation was deficient under the circumstances. We therefore agree with the State that the record does not demonstrate ineffective assistance of counsel and that this claim must be asserted in a post-conviction motion.”
