Bozzie v. State

Summary

The court affirmed Bozzie's convictions, concluding that the evidence supported the jury's finding that he intended to strike Morgan with his truck and that the challenged evidentiary, juror-misconduct, ineffective-assistance, and presence-at-hearing claims failed. The court held that any evidentiary errors were not plain error because they did not affect the trial's outcome, and that counsel's challenged decisions were either reasonable or nonprejudicial. Bozzie did not establish that his absence from the motion for new trial hearing violated due process.
