Supreme Court of Georgia

Johnson v. State

May 6, 2025321 Ga. 511

Summary

The court affirmed Johnson’s convictions for felony murder and related offenses arising from a gang-related shootout. It held that the trial court acted within its discretion in reopening the evidence during deliberations, that Johnson failed to establish prejudice from counsel’s alleged interference with his decision to testify, and that his unpreserved challenge to the proximate-cause instruction did not satisfy plain-error review.
