Supreme Court of Georgia

Brown v. the State.

May 7, 2018814 S.E.2d 364

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed Kevon Brown's convictions for murder and related offenses, holding that the evidence was sufficient, that the trial court was not required to correct a merger error the State failed to raise, and that Brown's ineffective‑assistance claim failed under Strickland. The Court relied on established standards for sufficiency, merger doctrine, and counsel performance.
