Sloans v. the State.

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed Levaughn Sloans' murder and related convictions, holding that the evidence was sufficient for a rational trier of fact to find guilt and that his counsel did not provide ineffective assistance regarding the admission of autopsy photographs. The Court applied the standard sufficiency test and the Strickland two‑prong test, finding no deficiency or prejudice. The decision also clarified the interpretation of first‑degree criminal damage to property as requiring reckless endangerment. No separate opinions were filed.
