Cunningham v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseAppellant Denirio Cunningham was tried and convicted of murder and related offenses in connection with crimes he committed against David Rucker, Ashley Gay, and their two minor children. Cunningham appealed, arguing the evidence was insufficient to support his convictions, that the trial court erred by improperly admitting evidence pursuant to OCGA 24-4- 404 (b), and that he received ineffective assistance of counsel. The Georgia Supreme Court reversed Cunningham’s convictions and sentences for false imprisonment and the related weapons charges because of insufficient evidence, but affirmed his remaining convictions and sentences.
