Supreme Court of Georgia
Wimberly v. State
October 16, 2017302 Ga. 321
Summary
The court affirmed Wimberly's convictions and sentence after concluding that the evidence was sufficient to support the finding that he shot the victim, that trial counsel was not ineffective, and that newly discovered evidence did not warrant a new trial. The court held that the new evidence would have served only to impeach a trial witness and therefore failed the governing requirement for newly discovered evidence. Justice Grant concurred in the judgment only as to the newly discovered evidence issue.
