White v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed White's convictions and the denial of her amended motion for new trial. The court held that it could not review the trial court's exercise of its thirteenth-juror discretion, upheld the admission of autopsy photographs and the refusal to sever the financial and murder-related counts, and rejected White's indictment, ineffective-assistance, and Brady claims. The court concluded that any assumed severance error and counsel deficiency were harmless or did not satisfy the required prejudice showing.
