Hughes v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseAppellant Re’Dayon Hughes challenged his 2019 convictions for felony murder and other crimes in connection with the shooting death of Dre’Landon Brown. Appellant contended: (1) the trial court erred by admitting evidence that he vandalized Marjorie Reed’s car; (2) his trial counsel was ineffective for failing to question Appellant about alleged prior difficulties with Dre’Landon and for failing to object to the admission of other prior difficulties evidence; (3) the cumulative prejudice of these errors requires a new trial; and (4) that the trial court erroneously considered Appellant’s failure to retreat in denying his pretrial motion for immunity. Finding no reversible error, the Georgia Supreme Court affirmed.
