1. “It is well established that the failure to object in the trial court constitutes a waiver of a party’s right to raise a matter on appeal. See, e.g., Rosser v. State, 284 Ga. 335, 337 (3) ( 667 SE2d 62 ) (2008). However, when those same matters are raised in a claim of ineffective assistance of trial counsel, we consider the alleged errors within the analytical framework of an ineffectiveness claim, under which, in order to prevail, [Grant] must show both that his trial counsel’s performance was deficient and that, but for the deficient performance, there is a reasonable probability the outcome of the trial would have been different. Id. at 337 (4). See also Smith v. Francis, 253 Ga. 782 (1) ( 325 SE2d 362 ) (1985).”
