Heading: Whether there was cumulative error in the sentencing phase of the trial.

Text: ¶ 27. Crawford asserts that even if this Court were not to find any individually reversible error, that the cumulative effect of all the errors at trial warrants reversal. The Court addresses these issues now, before proceeding to Crawford's ineffective assistance of counsel argument to prove a point. ¶ 28. This Court will not address alleged errors of counsel in their aggregate under some lesser standard than is normally required to prove ineffective assistance of counsel. See Foster v. State, 687 So.2d 1124, 1141 (Miss.1996). Therefore, this Court will only address any errors in assistance of counsel under the proper standard in the remaining issues. ¶ 29. Notwithstanding, Crawford has failed to show any errors, much less a number of errors that might be reversible in their aggregate and, as such, this claim is without merit. See Davis v. State, 660 So.2d 1228, 1261 (Miss.1995); Wilburn v. State, 608 So.2d 702, 705 (Miss.1992) (holding that there must be error in some part for there to be aggregate reversible error).
