Graham v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed Graham’s convictions for felony murder and firearm possession, rejecting his claims of ineffective assistance of counsel on three separate jury‑instruction issues and his cumulative‑error argument. The Court held that counsel’s strategic choices were not patently unreasonable and that no prejudice was shown. It also found the cumulative‑error rule inapplicable because Graham raised no trial‑error claims.
