Dunn v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseDarius Dunn appealed his convictions for malice murder and other charges in connection with the 2015 shooting death of Anthony Tavarez. Dunn claimed on appeal that the evidence at trial was insufficient to support his conviction for a violation of the Georgia Street Gang Terrorism and Prevention Act. He also argued the trial court abused its discretion in admitting alleged bad character evidence and allegedly irrelevant and prejudicial video evidence. Finally, Dunn contended he received constitutionally ineffective assistance of counsel because his trial counsel did not seek to redact the State’s exhibits to exclude allegedly irrelevant and prejudicial bad character evidence. Finding no reversible error, the Georgia Supreme Court affirmed.
