Walker v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseAppellant Hezekiah Walker was convicted of felony murder and other offenses in connection with the May 2018 shooting death of Samuel Davis, IV. On appeal, Walker contended: (1) the evidence was insufficient to support his convictions and to overcome his justification defense; (2) the prosecutor’s closing argument violated his right to a fair trial; (3) the trial court erred by excluding certain photographs of the victim offered by the defense while allowing the State to offer a different photograph of the victim; and (4) trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance in various respects. Finding no reversible error, the Georgia Supreme Court affirmed.
