NAHMIAS, Justice.

Appellant Gregory Malik Walker, Jr., was convicted of malice murder and other crimes in connection with the shooting death of Roger Clark. Appellant contends that the evidence was insufficient to support his convictions; that the trial court committed plain error in failing to charge the jury on voluntary manslaughter and defense of habitation; that the trial court abused its discretion in excluding testimony at trial and at the motion for new trial hearing; and that Appellant received ineffective assistance of trial counsel. We affirm.1
