Perera v. Georgia

Following a joint jury trial regarding the murder of Robert Burdette and the related arson of Burdette’s car with his body inside, co-defendants Emily Perera and Miguel Alma appealed their convictions, contending, among other things, that the evidence was insufficient to support their verdicts and that respective trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance. Upon review, the Supreme Court found no reversible error, and affirmed convictions in both cases. View "Perera v. Georgia" on Justia Law
