Bozzie v. State

Summary

The court affirmed Bozzie's convictions, holding that the evidence was sufficient to support malice murder and that none of his evidentiary, juror-misconduct, ineffective-assistance, or motion-for-new-trial-presence claims warranted relief. The evidence supported a finding that Bozzie intentionally drove over Morgan and continued applying the accelerator while dragging him, establishing the requisite malice. The court also concluded that any evidentiary errors were either absent, harmless, or did not affect the outcome, and that counsel's challenged decisions were not prejudicially deficient.
