Supreme Court of Georgia
Anthony v. State
November 2, 2017
Summary
The court affirmed Anthony’s convictions for malice murder and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime. It held that his challenge to the photographic identification was not preserved, that the alleged newly discovered evidence and Brady claim did not warrant a new trial, and that his preserved ineffective-assistance claims failed for lack of deficient performance or prejudice. The court also rejected the remaining ineffective-assistance claims as procedurally barred or unsupported by the record.
