Supreme Court of Georgia

Cannon v. State

October 16, 2017

Summary

The court affirmed Cannon's felony-murder conviction, rejecting challenges to the sufficiency of the evidence, counsel's performance, the impeachment instructions, the Allen charge, and the jury-recharge response. The court held that counsel was not deficient regarding the investigator's testimony or the prison attire, any instructional error concerning impeachment was harmless, and Cannon invited or failed to establish error concerning the Allen charge and recharge. All justices concurred.
