Coley v. Georgia

Christopher Lee Coley was convicted of malice murder in the 2006 shooting death of John Adams. On appeal, Coley argued: (1) the evidence was insufficient to support his conviction; (2) the trial court erred in denying his motion for a mistrial, in charging the jury on party to a crime, and in allowing the alternate juror to sit in the jury room during deliberations; and (3) that his trial counsel was ineffective. Finding no error, the Georgia Supreme Court affirmed. View "Coley v. Georgia" on Justia Law
