Supreme Court of Georgia
Richardson v. the State.
January 22, 2019823 S.E.2d 321
Summary
The court affirmed Richardson's convictions for murder and related offenses, concluding that the evidence was sufficient and that none of his three ineffective-assistance claims satisfied the required showing. Counsel was not deficient for failing to call a witness whom counsel reasonably attempted to investigate, for failing to object to permissible or nonprejudicial closing arguments, or for failing to object to admissible prior consistent statements. The court also noted that all Justices concurred.
