Davis v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed Davis's convictions for felony murder and possession of a knife, holding that the trial court did not err in admitting the prior testimony of an unavailable witness and that Davis's claim of ineffective assistance of counsel failed. The Court found that any error was waived by trial counsel’s affirmative relinquishment of objection, and that counsel’s performance was not deficient under Strickland.
