Ford v. State
Annotate this CaseDefendant was convicted of malice murder and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime while a convicted felon. On appeal, defendant contended his convictions were the results of ineffective assistance of counsel and of errors made by the trial court. The court held that the assistant district attorney's actions at issue did not qualify as prosecutorial misconduct authorizing a reversal of defendant's conviction; the trial court did not abuse its discretion in making the evidentiary ruling regarding a witness' testimony since the State was permitted to rehabilitate a witness whose credibility had been attacked and the testimony at issue was relevant; the trial court did not err in admitting certain tape recordings at issue; and that trial counsel did not render ineffective assistance. Accordingly, the judgment was affirmed.
