Syllabus

Defense counsel was not ineffective for failing to use a peremptory challenge against a juror who was a former employee of a sheriff's office and a current employee of a probation department. Trial court did not abuse its discretion in not allowing defense counsel to cross-examine a witness and participant in a drug transaction about his juvenile adjudication for aggravated robbery and in ruling that such evidence was inadmissible under Evid.R. 609. Appellant's convictions for aggravated robbery, felonious assault, and tampering with evidence were supported by sufficient evidence and were not against the manifest weight of the evidence.
