Tyson v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed Tyson’s convictions and life sentence for felony murder arising from the fatal beating of a child. The court rejected claims concerning juror bias, the incomplete voir dire transcript, appellate delay, a jury instruction, exclusion of defense evidence, ineffective assistance, and cumulative error because Tyson either failed to establish the required legal showing or failed to demonstrate prejudice. No separate opinions were filed.
