Hodges v. State

Summary

The court affirmed Hodges’s convictions, holding that the trial court did not abuse its discretion by admitting a limited body-camera clip showing Hodges’s face after his arrest because the clip was relevant to identifying him as the person arrested and was not unfairly prejudicial. The court also rejected Hodges’s ineffective-assistance claim because his flight from police was intrinsic evidence of consciousness of guilt, so the State was not required to provide notice under Rule 404(b), and counsel was not deficient for failing to make a meritless objection.
