Supreme Court of Georgia

Walker v. State

June 19, 2017

Summary

The court affirmed Walker's convictions for malice murder and related offenses arising from his shooting of Clark. It held that the evidence was sufficient, that the unrequested or withdrawn jury instructions did not constitute plain error, that the hearsay-related claims failed because the excluded statements were not proffered, and that counsel's challenged decisions were either reasonable trial strategy or nonprejudicial.
