Johnson v. State
Annotate this CaseDefendant appealed his conviction for malice murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm or knife during the commission of a felony in connection with the fatal shooting of one victim and the wounding of another. The court rejected defendant's contention that counsel was ineffective because his counsel erroneously advised him not to testify and because counsel failed to adequately question and impeach the State's witnesses. Accordingly, defendant failed to meet his burden under Strickland v. Washington and the judgments were affirmed.
