Supreme Court of Georgia
Lopez v. State
December 7, 2020310 Ga. 529
Summary
The court affirmed Lopez's convictions and sentences, concluding that the evidence was legally sufficient and that none of his claims concerning counsel, the trial record, judicial recusal, suppression, or the jury recharge warranted relief. It held that Lopez failed to show an actual conflict of interest, deficient performance with resulting prejudice, an involuntary custodial statement, an incomplete transcript, or preserved grounds for recusal. It also held that the jury was correctly recharged and that Lopez could not establish plain error.
