Syllabus

There was insufficient evidence to support Walker's conviction for engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity. However, there was sufficient evidence to support Walker's convictions for trafficking in cocaine, possession of cocaine, and illegal manufacture of drugs. The trial court did not abuse its discretion in making its evidentiary rulings, the prosecutor's statements in closing arguments did not deprive Walker of a fair trial, Walker did not receive the ineffective assistance of counsel, the trial court did not err in ruling on Walker's Batson challenge, the trial court did not err in declining to merge Walker's fifth-degree felony trafficking convictions with his first-degree felony trafficking conviction, and the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying Walker's motion to compel the disclosure of the identity of the confidential informant.
