Supreme Court of Mississippi.

Rehearing Denied April 10, 2014.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Office of State Public Defender by Benjamin Allen Suber , George T. Holmes , attorneys for appellant.

Office of the Attorney General by Scott Stuart , attorney for appellee.

Before DICKINSON, P.J., LAMAR and CHANDLER, JJ.

DICKINSON, Presiding Justice, for the Court:

¶ 1. In this aggravated-assault conviction, James Marco Ferguson challenges the sufficiency of the State's evidence that he used a knife during the assault, the trial court's denial of a proposed jury instruction on his competence to testify, and the trial court's refusal to admit evidence of the victim's drug use. Ferguson also raises ineffective assistance of counsel. Finding no error, we affirm.
