1Opinion of the Court

BARNES, Presiding Judge.

Bernard Jackson appeals his jury convictions for armed robbery and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, arguing that his trial counsel was ineffective. For the reasons that follow, we affirm.

The appellate court reviews the evidence in the light most favorable to the verdict, giving deference to the jury’s determination on the proper weight and credibility to be given the evidence. It is for the jury to determine the credibility of the witnesses and to resolve any conflicts or inconsistencies in the evidence. .
