Supreme Court of Georgia

Morgan v. State

May 6, 2025321 Ga. 495

Summary

The court affirmed Morgan’s convictions for malice murder and aggravated assault. It held that the trial court did not abuse its discretion by excluding speculative evidence concerning drugs and other possible suspects, and that Morgan failed to establish deficient performance by trial counsel. The court also concluded that counsel’s advice that Morgan not testify was a reasonable strategic decision. No separate opinions were filed.
