SULLIVAN, Justice.
Defendant Jamiel Cotton was convicted of murder for shooting a woman to death after breaking into her apartment. Although the trial court held a pre-trial competency hearing, Defendant requested a new competency hearing following his conviction. Based on the results of the initial hearing and Defendant's conduct at trial, we find no abuse of the trial court's discretion in denying the request.
