Supreme Court of Georgia

Edwards-Tuggle v. State

December 20, 2024320 Ga. 558

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed the denial of Edwards-Tuggle’s motion for a new trial after concluding that the trial court’s deliberation-scheduling remarks were administrative rather than coercive and that any deficient performance concerning improper character evidence caused no prejudice. The court also rejected cumulative-error relief because the appellant failed to establish at least two trial errors.
