Boone v. State

December 21, 2020310 Ga. 651

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia vacated the trial court’s denial of Odeirrick Boone’s motion for an out‑of‑time appeal and remanded for a hearing on whether his plea counsel’s failure to advise him of a direct‑appeal right constituted ineffective assistance, finding that the prejudice prong is met by a reasonable probability of a timely appeal.
