Grier v. the State.

Summary

The court affirmed Grier’s convictions for two murders and related offenses, holding that the evidence was sufficient because it connected him to the victims shortly before their deaths, corroborated his statement that he had killed them, and supported his possession of a weapon of the same caliber used in the shootings. The court rejected his ineffective-assistance claims because one was waived, the challenged lay opinions were admissible, and he could not show a reasonable probability of a different result from counsel’s failure to object to the prosecutor’s closing argument. The prosecutorial-misconduct claim was also waived because Grier made no contemporaneous objection.
