White v. State

Summary

The court affirmed White’s convictions for malice murder and related offenses, rejecting challenges to the denial of a new trial, the admission of autopsy photographs, joinder of the murder and financial counts, the sufficiency of the RICO indictment, ineffective assistance of counsel, and an alleged Brady violation. The court held that the general-grounds claim was not reviewable on appeal, the challenged evidence and joinder rulings were within the trial court’s discretion, the indictment was legally sufficient, and White failed to establish deficient performance or prejudice. The court also concluded that the undisclosed statement did not create a reasonable probability of a different result.
