Leslie v. Georgia
Annotate this Case
Appellant Sajid Fitzgerald Leslie was convicted of murder and arson in connection with the death of his former girlfriend Lori Hastings. He raised several issues on appeal, arguing: (1) the evidence presented at trial was insufficient to support his conviction; (2) the trial court erred in admitting certain character evidence and other testimony; (3) the trial court erred in failing to exclude Appellant's statements to the police on grounds that he was not given Miranda warnings; (4) he received ineffective assistance of counsel. Finding Appellant's arguments were without merit, the Supreme Court affirmed Appellant's conviction.
