Bell v. the State.

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed appellant Bell’s convictions for murder and aggravated assault, holding that the evidence was sufficient, his Miranda‑waived statements were admissible, his counsel’s performance was not deficient, and the admission of prior bad‑act evidence was harmless. The Court applied the standard of review for sufficiency, found no Miranda violation, applied the Strickland test, and concluded the error was harmless.
