1Opinion of the Court

GRANT, Justice.

Appellant Jelani Asim Anthony was convicted of malice murder and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime.1 On appeal, Anthony contends that the trial court erred by (1) refusing to suppress an identification obtained as the result of an allegedly flawed lineup and (2) failing to grant his motion for new trial after new evidence relating to an alternate suspect was revealed. Anthony further contends that his trial counsel and post-trial counsel were ineffective in a number of ways. Finding no error, we affirm.
