Supreme Court of Georgia

Delaney v. the State.

August 20, 2018818 S.E.2d 559

Summary

The Court affirmed Delaney’s convictions for the murders and related offenses. It held that trial counsel was not ineffective for failing to object to testimony that a prosecution witness had passed a polygraph examination because counsel used the testimony to support the defense theory that the witness was the actual murderer and to undermine his credibility. The Court also independently determined that the evidence was legally sufficient to support the convictions.
