• explaining that, where there is no reversible error, “it follows that there could be no plain error either since plain error does not exist in the absence of reversible error” (citation and punctuation omitted)
• strong evidence of defendant’s guilt, along with the defendant’s “shifting stories,” made it highly probable that alleged trial court error in failing to rebuke prosecutor did not affect verdict
• Where “there was no reversible error, . . . it follows that there could be no plain error either (since plain error does not exist in the absence of reversible error).”
