Supreme Court of Georgia

Kingdom v. State

April 8, 2025321 Ga. 363

Summary

The court affirmed Kingdom's convictions, holding that any assumed Confrontation Clause and hearsay errors in admitting testimony that a deceased witness made an identification were harmless. It also rejected Kingdom's ineffective-assistance claim because, even assuming deficient performance, the overwhelming evidence established no reasonable probability of a different verdict. The court further found no cumulative prejudice because the assumed errors caused the same harm and did not likely affect the outcome.
