  • unless “clearly erroneous,” a trial court’s factual findings made in deciding an ineffective assistance claim will be affirmed, which means that we will not reverse such findings “if there is any evidence to support them”
  • whether to grant a mistrial is committed to the discretion of the trial court, and the denial of a motion for mistrial will not be disturbed on appeal unless there is a showing that a mistrial was essential to preserve the defendant’s right to a fair trial
