Supreme Court of Georgia
Henderson v. the State.
December 10, 2018822 S.E.2d 228
Summary
The Court affirmed Henderson’s convictions for felony murder, aggravated assault, and influencing a witness. It held that the evidence was sufficient, that Henderson failed to establish ineffective assistance under either the deficient-performance or prejudice prong, and that his remaining evidentiary claims were abandoned or, alternatively, harmless. The opinion also noted that the appellate court lacked authority to grant a discretionary new trial based on the weight of the evidence.
