Supreme Court of Georgia

Cooper v. State

November 7, 2023317 Ga. 676

Summary

The court affirmed Cooper’s convictions, holding that the evidence was constitutionally sufficient for a rational jury to find her guilty of malice murder. It also rejected her ineffective-assistance claim because many challenged portions of the detective’s testimony were admissible or cumulative, counsel’s decisions were not objectively unreasonable, and Cooper failed to show a reasonable probability of a different result. No separate opinions were filed.
