Green v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseSteven Green appealed the denial of his motion for new trial and his convictions for malice murder, burglary, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon in connection with the fatal shooting of Anthony Augustus and the aggravated assault of Shyrome Marshall (including the burglary of his home). Green claimed that he was denied a fair trial due to a juror’s untruthful responses to questions during voir dire and that his trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance. Finding the juror challenge to be without merit, the Supreme Court affirmed Green’s convictions, but remanded on the issue of the alleged ineffectiveness of trial counsel.
