Criminal Procedure — motions to reopen

Xavier D. Anderson appeals from a judgment, entered upon a jury’s verdicts, on one count of first-degree reckless injury and one count of possession of a firearm by a felon. Anderson contends it was error for the trial court to allow the State to reopen its case to introduce additional evidence after both it and Anderson had rested. He also contends that trial counsel was ineffective for not making an objection on that ground. We conclude that the trial court did not erroneously exercise its discretion when it allowed the State to present additional evidence and that trial counsel was not ineffective. Therefore, we affirm the judgment and order. This opinion shall not be published.
