Muse v. the State (three Cases)

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed the murder and related convictions of Muse and the Harris brothers arising from a coordinated shooting at a gas station. It held that the evidence was constitutionally sufficient, that the trial court’s handling of jury communications and surveillance videos did not warrant reversal, and that the remaining discovery, Brady, severance, hearsay, witness-disclosure, and record-reconstruction claims either failed on the merits, were harmless, or were unpreserved. The Court also concluded that Muse failed to establish prejudice from counsel’s assumed hearsay deficiencies.
