Criminal Procedure — self-defense — ineffective assistance

Curtis L. Jackson appeals from a judgment of conviction of second-degree reckless homicide by use of a dangerous weapon, and from the order denying his motion for a new trial. Jackson argues that the jury was inadequately instructed as to self-defense as it pertained to second-degree reckless homicide. Jackson also argues that the trial court improperly denied his motion to admit evidence of the victim’s reputation for violence and that his trial counsel was ineffective. We affirm the trial court.
