Supreme Court of Georgia

Baker v. the State (two Cases)

October 22, 2024320 Ga. 156

Summary

The court affirmed both defendants’ convictions and sentences for malice murder and firearm possession. It held that the trial court did not plainly err by failing to give an accomplice-corroboration instruction sua sponte, that the evidence was constitutionally sufficient to support Baker’s convictions, and that Laguerre failed to prove ineffective assistance or cumulative error.
