A jury convicted Anthony Wynn of armed robbery and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, and he was sentenced as a recidivist to life without parole plus ten years. On appeal, he argues that the evidence against him was insufficient, that the trial court erred in denying his motions for mistrial, that he was deprived of his right to a fair trial because of bad character references, that his trial counsel was ineffective for failing to object to character evidence, and that his sentence was improper. For the reasons that follow, we affirm.

1. Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the verdict, the record shows that on June 29, 2007, the victim, who worked for Cash America Pawn, noticed a man standing and staring at her while she waited in line at a local bank to cash a $3,000 check for the store. She called her manager as she was leaving the bank, and he was watching the back parking lot when he saw her pull in, followed by a black Jeep that came up fast and parked behind her. The manager immediately called 911 and watched as a man got out of the Jeep, pointed a gun at the victim, took the bank money bag from her, and got back in the Jeep, which left. The manager gave the 911 operator details about the robber’s clothing, the gun, the vehicle, which had no license tag, and the vehicle’s direction of travel. The victim subsequently described the robber’s clothes to the responding officers, describing his hat as dark with some orange on it.
