Overstreet v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed Overstreet's convictions for malice murder and violations of the Georgia Street Gang Terrorism and Prevention Act. It held that the evidence, including accomplice testimony, Overstreet's statements, gang-related evidence, and the circumstances of the crimes, was sufficient; that evidence of Overstreet's prior gang-related convictions was properly admitted; and that counsel was not ineffective for failing to seek a change of venue because Overstreet showed neither deficient performance nor prejudice.
