Supreme Court of Georgia

Phoenix v. the State.

December 10, 2018822 S.E.2d 195

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Phoenix's amended motion for a new trial, holding that the trial court did not abuse its broad discretion in denying Phoenix's requests for a continuance. The court also concluded that Phoenix failed to show harm because he did not identify the proposed expert, expected testimony, or resulting benefit, and the evidence of guilt was overwhelming. All Justices concurred, and no separate opinions were filed.
