Supreme Court of Georgia
Glenn v. State
October 16, 2017
Summary
The court affirmed Glenn's convictions and sentences, holding that the trial court properly admitted lay identification testimony, correctly upheld the search warrant and seizure of a cell phone, and properly rejected Glenn's unpreserved ineffective-assistance claim. The court concluded that the witnesses' familiarity with Glenn supported their ability to identify him in poor-quality surveillance footage, that the warrant established a fair probability evidence would be found in the apartment, and that the phone was lawfully seized and examined under the plain-view doctrine.
