Coleman v. State

Summary

The court affirmed Coleman’s malice-murder conviction, holding that evidence of her methamphetamine use was admissible as intrinsic evidence and was not unfairly prejudicial. The court also held that any error in limiting her expert’s testimony about pneumonia and DIC was not plain error affecting the verdict, and that counsel’s failure to object to the prosecutor’s reasonable-doubt argument did not establish ineffective assistance because Coleman could not show prejudice.
