Tedder v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed Tedder’s convictions and the denial of his motion for new trial. It held that the evidence was sufficient to support his convictions as a party to the crimes and for criminal gang activity, that the trial court’s response to a jury question was not an improper comment on the evidence, and that juror affidavits were properly excluded. The court also rejected all three ineffective-assistance claims because Tedder failed to establish deficient performance or prejudice.
