Supreme Court of Georgia

Morton v. State

August 5, 2019306 Ga. 492

Summary

The court affirmed Morton's convictions and sentences, holding that the evidence was sufficient, the trial court properly denied a voluntary-manslaughter instruction, and the challenged expert testimony did not constitute plain error. The court also rejected Morton's ineffective-assistance claims because counsel was not shown to have performed deficiently or caused prejudice. No separate opinions were filed.
