Supreme Court of Georgia

Boone v. State

January 19, 2022313 Ga. 78

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed the trial court’s denial of Boone’s out‑of‑time appeal, holding that a belated motion to withdraw a guilty plea is not a remedy available even if an out‑of‑time appeal were granted. The court reasoned that out‑of‑time appeals are limited to addressing a frustrated right to appeal, not to permit untimely withdrawal of a plea.
