1Opinion of the Court

Melton, Justice.

Following a jury trial, Tomorris Geiger was found guilty of murder, felony murder, armed robbery, kidnapping, and various other offenses in connection with the shooting deaths of cousins Dewayne and John Bacon. On appeal, Geiger contends that the evidence was insufficient to support the verdict; that the trial court erred by admitting similar transactions and improper character evidence; that the trial court erred by denying Geiger’s second request for a continuance; and that his trial counsel was ineffective. For the reasons that follow, we affirm.
