Anthony v. Georgia

by
Appellant Jelani Asim Anthony was convicted of malice murder and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime. On appeal, Anthony contended the trial court erred by: (1) refusing to suppress an identification obtained as the result of an allegedly flawed lineup; and (2) failing to grant his motion for new trial after new evidence relating to an alternate suspect was revealed. Furthermore, Anthony claimed his trial counsel and post-trial counsel were ineffective. Finding no error, the Georgia Supreme Court affirmed. View "Anthony v. Georgia" on Justia Law
