Supreme Court of Georgia

Najarro v. State

October 1, 2024319 Ga. 868

Summary

The court affirmed Najarro’s convictions, holding that she failed to establish constitutionally ineffective assistance of counsel in four asserted respects. Counsel’s decisions not to make additional hearsay or bolstering objections were reasonable strategic choices, and Najarro did not show that a motion to exclude late-disclosed evidence would have been meritorious. The court also rejected her cumulative-error argument because it identified no deficient performance.
