Supreme Court of Georgia
Carter v. the State.
May 20, 2019828 S.E.2d 294
Summary
The court affirmed Carter's convictions and the denial of his ineffective-assistance claim. Assuming without deciding that counsel performed deficiently by failing to object to sentencing information in prior dispositions and convictions, the court held that Carter failed to show a reasonable probability that the verdict would have been different because the evidence of guilt was strong and the sentencing information was not emphasized. The court also determined that the evidence was sufficient to support the convictions.
