Supreme Court of Georgia

Moore v. State

December 20, 2022315 Ga. 263

Summary

The court affirmed Moore’s convictions and sentence, rejecting his ineffective-assistance claims, his due-process challenge to the trial court’s involvement in a co-defendant’s testimony, and his claim under OCGA § 17-8-57. The court held that counsel’s challenged decisions were reasonable or caused no prejudice, any assumed due-process error was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt, and neither challenged judicial statement violated the statute.
