Supreme Court of Georgia

Jackson v. the State.

March 4, 2019825 S.E.2d 188

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Jackson's motion for new trial, concluding that the evidence supported his burglary conviction and that any instructional errors did not satisfy plain-error requirements. The court also rejected Jackson's ineffective-assistance claims for lack of prejudice and held that false imprisonment did not merge with aggravated assault because each offense required proof of a fact the other did not.
