Defendant contends that the trial court erred by (1) rejecting Defendant's trial counsel's attempt to stipulate to the fact that Defendant was a convicted felon and (2) allowing the State to introduce evidence of Defendant's prior felony conviction, which showed evidence of Defendant's prior misdemeanor convictions.
