Jackson v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseAlandis Jackson appealed the denial of his motion for new trial following his convictions for malice murder and other crimes in connection with the death of Steven Lewis. On appeal, Jackson argued: (1) the evidence was insufficient to support his conviction for burglary; (2) the trial court committed plain error when it charged the jury regarding circumstantial evidence, evidence of good character, and prior statements; (3) he received ineffective assistance of counsel due to his trial attorney’s failure to object to such instructions; and (4) the false imprisonment count should have merged with his conviction for the aggravated assault of Titus Robinson. The Georgia Supreme Court determined each of these enumerations of error were meritless, and it affirmed the trial court’s denial of his motion for a new trial.
