Supreme Court of Georgia

Bonner v. State

August 23, 2022314 Ga. 472

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Bonner’s motion for new trial, holding that he failed to establish constitutionally ineffective assistance of trial counsel. Bonner did not show that counsel’s investigation, cross-examination decisions, or failure to present defense witnesses was professionally unreasonable. He also failed to identify specific favorable evidence or testimony that would have supported those claims.
