Supreme Court of Georgia
Moss v. State
March 15, 2021311 Ga. 123
Summary
The court affirmed the convictions and life-without-parole sentence imposed on Moss for a murder committed when he was 17. It held that Moss failed to establish ineffective assistance because he could not show prejudice from counsel's handling of forensic reports or deficient performance from failing to challenge the indictment. The court also held that the resentencing court made the required juvenile-specific determination and that Georgia law authorized life without parole for murder. All justices concurred.
