Supreme Court of Georgia

Thorpe v. State

August 20, 2018304 Ga. 266

Summary

The court affirmed Thorpe's convictions, concluding that the evidence was sufficient and that none of his claims of ineffective assistance or trial error warranted relief. Counsel was not ineffective for failing to impeach a witness without supporting evidence or for failing to object to co-conspirator statements that were admissible as statements made in furtherance of a conspiracy. The court also upheld the recalled witness's in-court identification and the admission of drug-related evidence. No separate opinions were filed.
