McGee v. Georgia
Annotate this Case
In 2001, Jeffrey McGee pled guilty to malice murder, aggravated battery upon a peace officer, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon in connection with the January 1999 shooting death of police officer Robbie Bishop. The trial court sentenced McGee, in relevant part, to life without the possibility of parole for malice murder and twenty years for aggravated battery to run concurrent with the malice murder sentence. Over
thirteen years later, McGee filed a motion to withdraw his guilty plea, which motion the trial court denied without a hearing in February 2014. McGee then filed a motion for an out-of-time appeal on May 1, 2014, which the trial court denied without a hearing five days later. In Case No. S14A1648, McGee appealed pro se the denial of his motion to withdraw his guilty plea. In Case No. S14A1649, McGee appealed pro se the denial of his motion for an out-of-time appeal. The Supreme Court affirmed in Case No. S14A1648 and vacated and remanded in Case No. S14A1649.
