Emmanuel Okoronta appeals from a judgment of conviction for violating a domestic abuse injunction and for bail jumping. He argues that he is entitled to a new trial because his attorney erroneously used a peremptory strike to remove a biased juror rather than moving to strike the juror for cause. Because we conclude that Okoronta has failed to demonstrate he was prejudiced by his attorney’s failure, we disagree and affirm the judgment of the trial court.
