• holding that the appellant was not prejudiced by trial counsel’s failure to object to the prosecutor’s misstatement of law because arguments are not evidence and the trial court properly instructed the jury on the law of self-defense
• “A prosecutor is granted wide latitude in the conduct of closing argument, the bounds of which are in the trial court’s discretion . . . .” (citation and 19 punctuation omitted)
• alleged bolstering “was only implied” and there was substantial evidence of the defendant’s guilt, including his own statement “that he had done ‘some real hot sh-t’ while leaving the scene of the crime and that he was later found with the murder weapon”
