Broxton v. the State. Pena v. the State.

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed the convictions of Joseph Broxton and Daniel Pena. It held that Broxton failed to show deficient performance from counsel's stipulation concerning the street-gang charges and failed to establish that the challenged written statement was sent to the jury room. It further held that sufficient evidence supported Pena's convictions as a party to the crimes and that Pena failed to show ineffective assistance based on counsel's decisions concerning immunity and severance.
