Heading: Failure to file a motion to suppress Vifran Carter from testifying

Text: ¶ 53. On appeal, Reynolds argues that her counsel should have filed a motion to suppress Carter's testimony. Basically, the defense remakes its argument which is contained in Issue I. As stated in Issue I, Reynolds did not suffer reversible error. The defense objected to Carter's testimony as to any conversation with Reynolds. After a lengthy examination in chambers, the State withdrew Carter as a witness. The trial court granted the request to withdraw Carter as a witness. The defense did not object. The trial court instructed the jury to disregard Carter's testimony that she made at that point and also instructed the jury to disregard the State's remarks in its opening statement regarding Carter. We find that there was no showing of ineffective assistance of counsel to justify reversal.
