Priester v. State

Summary

The court affirmed Priester’s convictions for malice murder, aggravated battery, aggravated assault, and firearm possession. It held that the evidence was constitutionally and statutorily sufficient, that the trial court’s general-grounds ruling was not reviewable, and that any instructional error did not satisfy plain-error requirements. The court also rejected all asserted ineffective-assistance claims because counsel was not deficient or Priester failed to establish prejudice.
