Neuman v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed Neuman’s convictions for malice murder and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony after his second trial. It held that his collateral-estoppel challenge was unpreserved, that the trial court did not abuse its discretion by declining to disqualify the prosecuting office, and that any evidentiary errors were harmless or abandoned. The court also rejected Neuman’s ineffective-assistance claim because he failed to show prejudice.
