Supreme Court of Georgia

Victoria v. the State.

August 5, 2019831 S.E.2d 784

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed Jerome Marquis Victoria's convictions, holding that his claim of ineffective assistance of counsel regarding a pre‑trial plea offer failed because he showed neither deficient performance nor prejudice. The court applied the Strickland test and found the record insufficient to support his allegations. The decision also reiterated the court’s standard of reviewing factual findings for clear error.
