Description
The trial court did not abuse its discretion by not removing a juror for cause, by not declaring a mistrial after the prosecutor got "choked up" during his opening argument, by not ordering a new trial after the prosecutor called the defendant an executioner in the closing statement, by not limiting the use of the defendants prior criminal record for impeachment purposes, by not giving a self-defense instruction, and by not reshowing a video tape recording to the jury. Although showing a video tape recording of an angry, dirty, bloody defendant in the hospital was unfairly prejudicial and of minimal probative value, any error was harmless. Numerous other claims made by the defense are meritless.
