Supreme Court of Georgia

Wainwright v. the State.

February 4, 2019305 Ga. 63

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed the trial court's judgment except for vacating Wainwright's aggravated assault conviction and sentence due to a merger error. It held that the denial of a continuance, the alleged ineffective assistance of counsel, the jury‑voir dire panel size, and the requests for jury instructions on accident, justification, and voluntary manslaughter did not constitute reversible error.
