In his pro se motion, appellant asserted that counsel did not call his mother as a witness. He alleged that his mother would have told the jury that he was abused as a child. Appellant claims the trial court’s finding that his allegation was insufficient on its face was clearly erroneous. Appellant also claims that the trial court’s finding that the mother’s testimony would have been merely cumulative to testimony at trial was clearly erroneous because the motion court did not know what the testimony would be or how it would be used.
