Supreme Court of Georgia

Howard v. State

March 19, 2024318 Ga. 681

Summary

The court affirmed Howard’s felony-murder conviction, concluding that the evidence sufficiently established that he shot the victim during an aggravated assault. It also rejected Howard’s ineffective-assistance claim because he failed to show that a motion to suppress the identification would have succeeded, and rejected his juror challenge because he did not show that the selected jury was biased or incompetent.
