The Utah Court of Appeals held:
(1) Defendant’s claim that voir dire was inadequate failed because he did not show actual juror bias required for prejudice.
(2) Counsel was not ineffective for failing to object to crime scene photos under rule 403 because the photographs were admissible.
(3) Counsel was not ineffective by failing to object to testimony from multiple witnesses about the bloody nature of the crime scene.
(4) Defendant’s remaining claims of ineffective assistance failed to demonstrate prejudice.
