Brooks v. the State.

March 11, 2019826 S.E.2d 45

Summary

The court affirmed Brooks's convictions, holding that the evidence was sufficient for the jury to reject his coercion defense and that his remaining claims were either unpreserved or meritless. The court found no demonstrated prejudice from the edited interview recording and no deficient performance or prejudice concerning counsel's advice about testifying. There were no separate opinions.
