Supreme Court of Georgia

Thomas v. State

February 10, 2020308 Ga. 26

Summary

The court affirmed Thomas’s malice-murder conviction and life-without-parole sentence. It held that the evidence was sufficient even apart from the challenged custodial statement, that the statement was voluntary and did not require corroboration because it asserted self-defense, and that Thomas failed to establish ineffective assistance of counsel. No separate opinions were filed.
