Supreme Court of Georgia

Gooden v. the State.

May 20, 2019305 Ga. 835

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed the trial court’s denial of Good Gooden’s motion to withdraw her guilty plea, holding that her claim of ineffective assistance of plea counsel had already been raised and decided, so no remand is warranted. The Court also noted that Gooden did not assert ineffective assistance of her motion‑to‑withdraw counsel, and that the same standard applies to motions to withdraw a plea.
