• holding that any Confrontation Clause violation was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt, in part, because the erroneously admitted testimony was “cumulative of other admissible evidence placing [the] appellant in the house” where the murder occurred
• “Bruton is not implicated where the statement does not facially incriminate appellant and only becomes incriminating when linked with other evidence introduced at trial.”
• “To suggest that counsel should have obtained a deal is pure speculation which is insufficient to satisfy the prejudice prong of Strickland.”
• trial court did not err in refusing to grant motion for new trial on the basis of newly discovered evidence demonstrating that firearms examiner who testified at trial fabricated data in another, unrelated case
• trial court did not err in refusing to grant motion for new trial on the basis of newly discovered evidence demonstrating that firearms examiner who testified at trial fabricated data in another, unrelated case
