Ellington, Chief Judge.
A Muscogee County jury found Richard Boynton (hereinafter “the defendant”) guilty of seven counts of armed robbery, OCGA § 16-8-41 (a); one count of aggravated assault, OCGA § 16-5-21 (a) (1); one count of burglary, OCGA § 16-7-1 (b); and one count of possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime against another, OCGA § 16-11-106 (b) (1). The defendant appeals from the denial of his motion for a new trial. He contends that the trial court erred in admitting similar transaction evidence and that his trial counsel was ineffective. Finding no error, we affirm.
