Supreme Court of Georgia
Morrison v. the State.
February 19, 2018810 S.E.2d 508
Summary
The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed Morrison's malice-murder conviction and life sentence, rejecting challenges to the sufficiency of the evidence, alleged prosecutorial misconduct, speedy-trial and speedy-indictment claims, transcript delay, and ineffective assistance of counsel. The court held that the evidence permitted the jury to find guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, that several claims were unsupported or unpreserved, and that counsel's challenged decisions were reasonable trial strategy. There were no separate opinions.
