Walker v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseAppellant O’Shaye Walker was convicted of felony murder, armed robbery, attempt to purchase marijuana, and a firearm offense in connection with the shooting death of Taquahn Jackson. He argued on appeal the trial court erred by failing to instruct the jury on misdemeanor possession of marijuana as a lesser-included offense and by giving an overbroad instruction on the attempt to purchase marijuana charge. He also contended his trial counsel provided ineffective assistance by failing to object to the admission of certain statements made by Appellant and a detective during Appellant’s recorded interview. Finding no reversible error, the Georgia Supreme Court affirmed.
