Supreme Court of Georgia

Andre Pugh v. State

March 14, 2024318 Ga. 706

Summary

The court affirmed the murder and firearm convictions, holding that the affidavit supplied a substantial basis for probable cause to search records associated with the targeted phone number. It further held that Pugh failed to establish plain-error prejudice from any potentially overbroad warrant provisions and that trial counsel was not ineffective for failing to raise the particularity challenge. Claims that new-trial counsel was ineffective for not raising additional trial-counsel claims were procedurally barred.
