Fox v. State

Summary

The court affirmed Fox’s convictions and rejected her claims of ineffective assistance, plain instructional error, and cumulative error. It held that counsel’s decision to pursue self-defense rather than accident was a reasonable strategic choice, and that none of the challenged instructions, individually or cumulatively, likely affected the trial’s outcome. The court found no error in omitting a habitation instruction because Fox shot Midyette while both were outside the vehicle.
