Hoffler v. Georgia
Annotate this Case
Robert Hoffler was convicted for malice murder and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony relating to the fatal shooting of Quincy Dunlap. On appeal to the Supreme Court, he appealed the denial of his motion for a new trial, challenged the evidence presented at trial used to convict him, the method of impeachment of a defense witness, testimony about the contents of a witness' prior statement, the absence of a jury instruction, and the effectiveness of his trial counsel. Finding Hoffler's challenges to be without merit, the Supreme Court affirmed.
