Supreme Court of Georgia

Goodrum v. the State.

March 15, 2018812 S.E.2d 220

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed Goodrum's convictions, holding that he acquiesced to his counsel's waiver of the right to be present during the juror removal proceeding and that his claim of ineffective assistance of counsel failed under Strickland; the evidence was also deemed sufficient under Jackson. Justice NAHMIAS, concurring, agreed with the holdings but emphasized the well‑established right to be present at juror‑removal proceedings.
