Kevin Johnson appeals his convictions, after a jury trial, for trafficking

in and possession of cocaine, both felonies of the first degree, with major-drug-

offender specifications. Johnson contends that the police unlawfully searched his

car, the testimony of the state’s fingerprint expert should have been excluded, the

testimony of several police officers was inadmissible opinion testimony, the evidence

was insufficient to sustain the convictions, the convictions were contrary to the

manifest weight of the evidence, the prosecutor committed misconduct by failing to

provide an expert report, the police unlawfully searched his brother’s home, he was

denied the right to the effective assistance of counsel, and the cumulative effect of the

errors violated his rights.
Outcome:
Finding his assignments of error without merit, we affirm the trial court’s judgment.
