Supreme Court of Georgia
Strother v. the State.
May 20, 2019828 S.E.2d 327
Summary
The court affirmed Strother's convictions for malice murder and related offenses, holding that the evidence was sufficient and that the trial court properly denied his motion for a new trial. It also upheld the admission of gang- and murder-related statements as rebuttal evidence after the defense challenged the witnesses' identification of Strother, and it rejected related ineffective-assistance and prosecutorial-misconduct claims. The court concluded that the record supported the finding that no plea agreement existed and that the witness did not testify falsely at trial.
