Asmelash v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed Asmelash's convictions for malice murder and related offenses, holding that the trial court's refusal to allow the jury to view the surveillance video was a harmless abuse of discretion and that counsel's failure to call an alibi witness did not constitute ineffective assistance because no prejudice was shown. The Court also rejected the argument that the combined errors were cumulatively prejudicial.
