Syllabus

COUNSEL – INEFFECTIVE ASSISTANCE – VOIR DIRE: Defendant did not receive ineffective assistance from trial counsel where counsel engaged in a thorough voir dire of potential jurors, elected to cross-examine the victim on her testimony concerning defendant's past behavior, rather than object to the admission of that testimony, and both introduced evidence of self-defense and argued self-defense to the jury in opening and closing statements.
