Richardson v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed Richardson’s convictions for felony murder and related offenses. It held that the detective’s testimony about the demeanor and manner of two witnesses during their interviews was not plainly improper bolstering because it did not directly comment on their credibility, and counsel was not constitutionally ineffective for failing to object. The court also deemed Richardson’s unsupported sufficiency challenge to the terroristic-threats conviction abandoned.
