Thompson v. State

Summary

The court affirmed Thompson’s convictions for malice murder and related offenses. It held that the evidence was constitutionally sufficient, that the general-grounds challenge was not reviewable on appeal, and that the unpreserved closing-argument claims could not be considered. Thompson also failed to establish ineffective assistance because he could not show prejudice from counsel’s failure to object to one comment and could not show deficient performance concerning the other.
