Supreme Court of Georgia
Morris v. the State.
March 5, 2018811 S.E.2d 321
Summary
The court affirmed Morris's convictions, holding that the challenged evidentiary rulings, jury instructions, ineffective-assistance claims, and denial of a new trial were not reversible error. The court concluded that Morris failed to preserve or substantiate several claims, the instructions adequately addressed the defenses and verdict options, and the record supported the trial court's exercise of discretion. The court also criticized the extraordinary delays in processing the case but found that Morris identified no resulting error.
