Carter v. State

Summary

The court affirmed Carter’s convictions for malice murder and two firearm offenses, holding that the evidence was sufficient for the jury to reject his self-defense claim and find him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. The court also rejected Carter’s ineffective-assistance claims because the challenged shoeprint testimony was admissible or nonprejudicial and the challenged testimony about the victim’s firearm was either not hearsay or insignificant. No separate opinions were filed.
