Supreme Court of Georgia

Jennings v. State

March 5, 2024318 Ga. 579

Summary

The court affirmed Jennings’s convictions for malice murder and related offenses. It held that the victim’s bank records were intrinsic evidence relevant to motive, that any error involving Facebook messages did not satisfy plain-error prejudice review, and that Jennings failed to establish deficient performance or prejudice on her ineffective-assistance claims. The court also concluded that any assumed errors, considered cumulatively, did not deprive Jennings of a fundamentally fair trial.
