Perkins v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseAndreas Perkins was convicted by jury of malice murder and other crimes in connection with the 2014 shooting death of Randy Menefee. On appeal, Perkins argued: (1) the evidence presented at trial was insufficient to support his convictions for burglary and two counts of aggravated assault; (2) the trial court erred by denying Perkins’s motion for mistrial after a witness improperly made a reference to gangs ; (3) the trial court abused its discretion when it admitted five photos that allegedly implied that Perkins was involved in gang activity ; and (4) Perkins’s trial lawyer was constitutionally ineffective when he failed to request certain jury instructions. Finding no reversible error, the Georgia Supreme Court affirmed.
