Supreme Court of Georgia

Harmon v. State

June 11, 2024319 Ga. 259

Summary

The court affirmed Harmon’s convictions and sentence for malice murder, aggravated assault, and firearm offenses arising from his shooting into a car, concluding that the evidence was constitutionally sufficient and supported denial of the directed-verdict motion. The court also held that Harmon failed to establish prejudice from counsel’s assumed deficiency in not objecting to Lawson’s recorded police statement because substantial independent evidence supported the convictions.
