• holding that an objection to victim impact evidence not raised in the trial court was waived
• holding that a juror who is substantially impaired in his or her ability to consider life with the possibility of parole as a sentencing option is not qualified to serve
• holding that an objection to victim impact evidence not raised in the trial court was waived and citing Earnest v. State, 262 Ga. 494, 495 (1) (422 SE2d 188) (1992)
• noting that, in addition to evidence, a motion in limine may seek to limit a specific argument 7 at trial
• an adverse ruling by a trial court to a motion in limine seeking to limit a specific argument at trial serves to preserve the issue of the argument’s propriety for appellate review
• although prosecutor should not have said that a “just punishment 19 under a lot of religions would be death” there is no reasonable probability that the argument contributed to the verdict
