Clements v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed Edward Clements Jr.'s convictions for murder and related offenses, holding that the evidence was sufficient, the Sixth Amendment right to counsel had not attached to a pre‑charging wiretap, and his trial counsel was not ineffective. The court also affirmed the trial court's denial of a new‑trial motion based on that evidence. The decision relied on established federal and state precedent.
