Listen to this article

Jermaine V. Dantzler appeals from a judgment entered on a jury verdict convicting him of one count of first-degree reckless homicide. He also appeals from an order denying his postconviction motion. Dantzler claims that he is entitled to a new trial, or in the alternative, an evidentiary hearing because: (1) the trial court erroneously exercised its discretion when it admitted other-acts evidence of Dantzler’s alleged physical abuse of the victim; (2) the State misstated key facts that were relevant to the court’s analysis of whether to admit the other-acts evidence; and (3) his trial counsel was ineffective for failing to properly object to the admission of the prior injuries.

We affirm.

This opinion will not be published.
