Williams v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseIsrael Timothy Williams was convicted by jury of malice murder and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony in connection with the shooting death of Brandon Colson. Williams challenged the sufficiency of the evidence, contended his trial counsel was ineffective, and argued that the trial court erred in denying his request for a jury instruction on coercion. Because the Georgia Supreme Court found Williams failed to carry his burden of showing reversible error, it affirmed his convictions as well as the trial court’s order denying his motion for a new trial.
