Syllabus

The trial court did not err in failing to amend the record to reflect that a prospective juror was an African-American individual. The trial court did not abuse its discretion in dismissing the only African-American prospective juror for cause, as appellant claims, because (1) the record does not show that there were any African-American individuals in the jury pool and (2) the record establishes that the prospective juror at issue was dismissed for cause due to COVID-19 concerns without objection. Judgment affirmed.
