Court of Appeals of Georgia

1Opinion of the Court

Dillard, Judge.

Following a trial by jury, Lakerim Ashmid was convicted on one count of child molestation. He appeals this conviction, contending that (1) the trial court erred by allowing the victim to refresh her recollection, (2) a potential juror was improperly struck for cause, and (3) he received ineffective assistance of counsel when his trial counsel failed to obtain criminal histories on state witnesses or make proper objections in three specific instances. For the reasons set forth infra, we affirm Ashmid’s conviction.
