Bedford v. State

Summary

The court affirmed the malice-murder and related convictions of Bedford and Brooks, holding that the evidence was sufficient, the mistrial issue was unpreserved, Bedford's statement was properly admitted, and Brooks failed to establish reversible plain error from alleged bolstering. The court also held that Brooks could not supplement his motion for new trial after its denial and that his ineffective-assistance claims were procedurally barred because they were not raised at the earliest practicable opportunity. No separate opinions were filed.
