Supreme Court of Georgia

Henderson v. the State.

March 5, 2018811 S.E.2d 388

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia held that it has appellate jurisdiction over Henderson’s appeal because the case involves a possible death sentence, overruling Coles’s characterization of the appeal as a civil mandamus petition. It then dismissed the appeal, finding that Henderson is not entitled to a free transcript or other relief after the direct‑appeal window had closed.
