Revere v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseJermaine Revere was convicted by jury of murder and various other offenses in connection with the stabbing death of Angelo Patterson. In his sole enumeration on appeal, Revere argued he received ineffective assistance of trial counsel. Revere contends that his trial counsel was ineffective for failing to (a) object or request a mistrial after three of the State’s witnesses improperly placed Patterson’s character in issue, and (b) introduce evidence of Patterson’s prior felony convictions to rebut or impeach the State’s improper character evidence. Finding no reversible error, the Georgia Supreme Court affirmed the conviction.
