1Opinion of the Court

The opinion of the court was delivered by

Davis, J.:

The defendant, Aaron Pennington, appeals from his convictions of first-degree murder and aggravated burglary. He contends that the trial court erred (1) by admitting evidence of an experimental shooting test; (2) by failing to instruct the jury that it must not draw inferences from the defendant’s failure to testify; (3) by instructing the jury on aiding and abetting; and (4) by failing to give the cautionary jury instruction on the testimony of a paid informant.
