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 ineffective assistance of trial counsel in connection with hearsay and bolstering objections, additional hearsay objections, or an alleged discovery violation. Counsel’s decisions were supported by reasonable trial strategy, and Najarro did not show that exclusion of the late-produced transcript was warranted or that counsel’s performance was deficient. Because no instance of deficient performance was shown, her cumulative-error claim also failed.
