Judge(s): HOLLOWAY

Defendant, Michael Dewayne Fisher, appeals his Lawrence County conviction for attempted first degree premeditated murder, for which he received a sentence of twentyfive years’ incarceration. Defendant asserts that the evidence presented at trial is insufficient to support his conviction and that the trial court committed structural constitutional error when it denied his motion for recusal. Following a thorough review, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
