Syllabus

Appellant's convictions are supported by sufficient evidence and not otherwise against the manifest weight of the evidence where the jury heard testimony that the appellant was seen making furtive movements in the vehicle, the contraband was located where appellant directed those furtive movements, and no one else in the vehicle made any similar movements. The trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying appellant's motion for a mistrial where it issued a curative instruction to remedy the state's error in presenting inadmissible other acts evidence and there is nothing in the record indicating the jury failed to follow the curative instruction. Appellant cannot establish any claim for ineffective assistance of counsel where she fails to show that her counsel's performance was deficient or that she suffered any prejudice as a result of the alleged deficiencies.
