Supreme Court of Georgia

Meheux v. State

September 28, 2020309 Ga. 857

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia vacated the trial court’s denial of Meheux’s motion for new trial and remanded with instructions to dismiss the motion as untimely, holding that a pro se motion for new trial filed while the defendant is still represented is a legal nullity and that an untimely motion must be dismissed rather than decided on the merits.
