• finding no deficient performance when counsel failed to object “to avoid drawing unfavorable attention” to certain facts
• claim of prosecutorial misconduct failed where raised for the first time in post-conviction proceedings instead of direct appeal
• an objection to inadmissible evidence may be waived as part of reasonable trial strategy and such strategy will not be second-guessed by this court
