Supreme Court of Georgia

Dunn v. State

September 21, 2021312 Ga. 471

Summary

The court affirmed Dunn's convictions, holding that sufficient evidence supported the required nexus between his charged crimes and an intent to further gang interests. It declined to review some character-evidence arguments because they were not preserved or did not challenge the basis on which the evidence was admitted, and it found no plain-error or ineffective-assistance prejudice from the probation materials. Any error in admitting the gang-related video was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt because the video was cumulative of other evidence and the evidence of guilt was substantial.
