Supreme Court of Georgia

Albury v. State

August 23, 2022314 Ga. 459

Summary

The Court affirmed Albury’s convictions, concluding that his juror-for-cause claim was unpreserved and that the trial court properly admitted a post-incision autopsy photograph under the relevance and unfair-prejudice standards. The Court also rejected both ineffective-assistance claims because Albury failed to establish prejudice as to the juror inquiry and failed to show deficient performance regarding the decision to pursue an all-or-nothing defense without a voluntary-manslaughter instruction.
