Supreme Court of Georgia
Willis v. the State.
December 10, 2018822 S.E.2d 203
Summary
The court affirmed Willis's convictions for murder and related offenses, holding that the evidence was sufficient for a rational jury to reject his accident and self-defense account. It also held that unobjected-to testimony from a crime-scene investigator and the failure to instruct the jury about the mandatory murder sentence did not constitute plain error. Because the investigator's testimony did not prejudice Willis, counsel's failure to object did not establish ineffective assistance.
