Bennett v. the State (two Cases)

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed the murder and firearm convictions of Everett Bennett and Travis Tyrone Kates. The court held that the evidence was sufficient to establish Kates’s participation as a party to the crimes, that evidence linking Kates to ammunition used in the murder was properly admitted as intrinsic evidence, and that Bennett failed to establish ineffective assistance, cumulative prejudice, or sentencing errors. No separate opinions were filed.
