Tuggle v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed Tuggle’s convictions and sentences for murder and related offenses. It held that any error in admitting a co-defendant’s hearsay statements was harmless because the evidence was cumulative and the proof of guilt was overwhelming; the challenge to closing argument failed because the argument was not transcribed; and the record showed that the trial court exercised sentencing discretion. No separate opinions were filed.
