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. The court also rejected her ineffective-assistance claim because several unmade objections would have been meritless or objectively reasonable strategic choices, and Cooper failed to show prejudice from any remaining alleged deficiencies. No separate opinions were filed.
