Styles v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseMichael Styles was tried by jury and found guilty of felony murder and other crimes in connection with the shooting death of Alberto Lumens and the armed robbery of Juan Garcia. Styles contended on appeal that the evidence was insufficient to support his convictions, the trial court erred in charging the jury and in handling a communication from the jury, the prosecutor improperly expressed personal opinions during the trial, and that defense counsel rendered him ineffective assistance. Because the Georgia Supreme Court found no merit to any of these claims of error, it affirmed judgment.
