Thomas v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseTony Thomas was convicted by jury of felony murder in the shooting death of Dominique Boyer; malice murder in the shooting deaths of Veondus Dennis and Antwan Wheeler; aggravated assault against Fredrick Foster, Raheem Zeigler, Kevyn Courtney, and Tiojah Johnson; and criminal gang activity. On appeal, Thomas contended the trial court plainly erred in failing to instruct the jury on impeachment by a prior felony conviction, and in denying his motion for a new trial based on the State’s failure to disclose evidence that two witnesses had felony convictions. Thomas also contended he received ineffective assistance of counsel. Finding no reversible error, the Georgia Supreme Court affirmed.
