Fisher v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseUpon retrial, appellant Ronald Fisher was found guilty of malice murder and related crimes in connection with the shooting death of Derek Cullins. In this appeal, Fisher contended the evidence presented at his retrial was insufficient to support his convictions because the only witness to identify him as the shooter, David Lewis, was an accomplice. Further, Fisher argued the trial court erred by allowing the lead detective to testify that Lewis was not an accomplice, and that his trial counsel provided ineffective assistance by failing to object to the prosecutor’s closing argument. Finding no reversible error, the Georgia Supreme Court affirmed.
