Supreme Court of Georgia
Taylor v. the State.
June 18, 2018816 S.E.2d 17
Summary
The court affirmed Taylor's convictions because the evidence was sufficient to support his participation in the attempted armed robbery and conspiracy, the co-defendant's redacted statement did not violate confrontation rights, gang-affiliation evidence was properly admitted, and his custodial statements were admissible. The court also rejected or found waived Taylor's ineffective-assistance claims. It vacated the consecutive sentence for conspiracy because that offense merged into the felony-murder conviction and remanded for correction of the sentencing order.
