• holding that the trial court did not commit clear or obvious error, where the appellant’s argument conflicted with controlling precedent
• holding that unobjected to jury instructions are subject to plain-error review when the defendant subsequently alleges in his motion for a new trial and on appeal that the instruction was erroneous
• noting that OCGA § 17-8-58 (b), effective July 1, 2007, provides that unobjected-to jury charges are reviewed only for plain error
