Supreme Court of Georgia

Yarn v. the State.

March 11, 2019826 S.E.2d 1

Summary

The court affirmed Deondray Yarn's convictions for murder and related offenses. It held that the evidence, including corroborated accomplice testimony and independent evidence, was sufficient; that the trial court acted within its discretion in granting continuances for witnesses held in federal custody; and that Yarn failed to prove prejudice from counsel's alleged failure to explain the plea offer's consecutive-versus-concurrent sentencing consequences. No separate opinions were filed.
