Morgan v. State

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 possible alternative perpetrators, and any assumed error regarding the drug evidence was harmless given the strong evidence of guilt. The court also rejected Morgan’s ineffective-assistance claims because he identified no omitted arguments and counsel’s advice that he not testify was a reasonable strategic decision.
