1Opinion of the Court

Melton, Justice.

Following a jury trial, Janice Delores Hudson was found guilty of murder, felony murder, and possession of a knife during the commission of a crime. On appeal, Hudson contends that the evidence was insufficient to support the verdict, that the trial court erred in denying her motion for a continuance, that the trial court erred in refusing to allow a defense witness to testify, that the trial court erred by charging the jury on both accident and self-defense, and that she received ineffective assistance of counsel.
