Heading: Failure to Object to the Change of Venue for Resentencing

Text: ¶ 12. Berry contends that trial counsel was ineffective for failing to object to the change of venue to Union County, which has a twenty percent fewer African-Americans than Chickasaw County. Berry, a Caucasian, fails to discuss how the county's racial composition impacted his rights or potential jurors' rights. We considered this issue in Berry II and found it to be procedurally barred. Berry II, 703 So.2d at 292. Our case law is clear in that there is no constitutional right to be tried by a jury that absolutely mirrors any particular community. Simon v. State, 688 So.2d 791, 806 (Miss.1997). This issue is without merit.
