Syllabus

Appellant's counsel's strategic decision not to move the trial court to waive the costs of prosecution at sentencing does not constitute ineffective assistance. The trial court did not err in imposing a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole on appellant, a juvenile offender, where it expressly considered appellant's age as a mitigating factor and determined that appellant's age was outweighed by the seriousness of appellant's crime and his likelihood of recidivism.
