Supreme Court of Georgia

Goodrum v. State

February 5, 2018303 Ga. 414

Summary

The court affirmed Goodrum’s convictions and sentences, holding that he acquiesced in the waiver of his right to be present when a juror was removed and that counsel was not ineffective for declining to object to the prosecutor’s closing argument. The court also determined that the evidence was legally sufficient to support the convictions. The court concluded that counsel’s decision was a reasonable tactical choice under the circumstances.
