Bufford v. State

MCFADDEN, Judge.

After a jury trial, Robert Austin Bufford was convicted of child molestation and aggravated child molestation. He argues that the trial court erred in admitting evidence regarding his appearance at the time of his arrest and that his trial counsel was ineffective because she did not object to this evidence. Because Bufford has waived appellate review of the admission of the evidence, and because he has not met his burden of demonstrating that his counsel’s failure to object to the evidence constituted deficient performance, we affirm.
