Williams v. Georgia
Annotate this Case
Taron Maurice Williams was tried by jury and convicted of the murder of Aljene Flannings and other crimes related to the unlawful possession of a firearm. Following the denial of his motion for new trial, Williams appealed, arguing that the trial court erred when it limited his cross-examination of a prosecution witness about another case in which the witness had been charged with armed robbery but had been allowed to plead guilty to a lesser included offense. Williams also claims that he was denied the effective assistance of counsel. Upon review of the briefs and trial court record, the Supreme Court found no error, and affirmed.
