Criminal Procedure
Voir dire; ineffective assistance
Stephen Jones appeals a judgment of conviction and an order denying his motion for postconviction relief. Jones argues his trial counsel was ineffective by failing to move that a certain juror be stricken for cause, failing to use a peremptory strike against the juror, and failing to question the juror further. Jones also contends his attorney should have objected to certain questions the State asked during voir dire. We reject Jones’s arguments and affirm. This opinion will not be published.
