Ingram v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseAppellant Tyree Ingram was convicted of felony murder and other crimes in connection with the fatal shooting of LaMarcus Brown during the early morning hours of September 13, 2019. On appeal, Ingram contended his trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance by: (1) failing to object to good character evidence of the victim; (2) failing to object to and redact the portion of Ingram’s recorded statement to law enforcement officers where he mentioned his juvenile criminal history; and (3) failing to object to the classification of Ingram’s first offender sentence as a “conviction” when it was tendered into evidence by the State. Ingram also contended that the cumulative effect of trial counsel’s ineffectiveness entitled him to a new trial. Finding no ineffective assistance of counsel, the Georgia Supreme Court affirmed.
