Supreme Court of Georgia

Lord v. the State.

October 9, 2018820 S.E.2d 16

Summary

The court affirmed Lord’s convictions, concluding that the evidence was sufficient and that the trial court did not err in handling jury selection, the Batson challenge, a courtroom disruption, or the admission of a co-conspirator’s statements. It also rejected Lord’s claims concerning plea bargaining, ineffective assistance of counsel, and speedy appellate review because he either identified no constitutional violation, failed to show deficient performance, or failed to demonstrate prejudice. The court deemed unsupported remaining enumerations abandoned.
