Supreme Court of Georgia

Nesby v. State

January 11, 2021

Summary

The court held that Nesby was not entitled to a new trial based on his absence from untranscribed bench conferences because he failed to show that the conferences involved matters implicating his right to be present and, in any event, acquiesced in the proceedings. The court also remanded for correction of a scrivener’s error in the written sentence for Count 6, while otherwise affirming the judgment.
