Supreme Court of Georgia

Welbon v. the State.

December 10, 2018822 S.E.2d 277

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed the trial court's denial of Welbon's motion for new trial, holding that the prior appellate determination of evidentiary sufficiency is binding under the law of the case and that Welbon's ineffective‑assistance claim fails because any error in not striking a biased juror was harmless since the juror was removed by a peremptory strike.
