Peacock v. State

Summary

The Georgia Supreme Court affirmed Jeffrey Peacock’s convictions, holding that the evidence was sufficient for the murder and firearm possession convictions, the search of his truck was valid under a warrant covering the home’s curtilage, his counsel’s failure to raise a hope‑of‑benefit argument did not constitute ineffective assistance, and the rule of lenity did not apply to his animal‑cruelty convictions.
