Green v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseAppellant Neddrick Green was charged along with Jeremy Reynolds, Jr. and Allen Williams for the malice murder of Barry Bullard. Green and Reynolds (who was also charged with possession of cocaine) were tried together and found guilty. Green appealed, asserting that he received ineffective assistance of counsel. The Georgia Supreme Court found trial counsel’s decision not to seek severance was presumed strategic. “Even if counsel had filed a motion to sever, the court would not have abused its discretion in denying the motion as Green would not have been able to show prejudice from the joint trial.” With otherwise no reversible error in the trial court’s judgment, the Supreme Court affirmed Green’s conviction.
