Opinión de la Corte Suprema · Supreme Court of Georgia · 10 de junio de 2025
State v. Embert
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia dictaminó que el juicio por asesinato de 2019 de una mujer del condado de Dougherty no era automáticamente nulo solo porque un jurado resultó ser un delincuente convicto inelegible, revirtiendo la decisión del tribunal de primera instancia de desestimar su caso por motivos de juicio rápido.
In its dismissal order, the trial court first determined that the service of an ineligible juror not only rendered her sentence void, entitling her to a new trial, but also rendered the December 2019 trial void, finding that “there was no jury trial in this case that satisfied Embert’s constitutional right to a speedy trial.” Therefore, the trial court...
(ii) Reasons for the delay: The trial court found that Embert was largely responsible for the delay for the period from February 2015 to August 2018 (three-and-one-half years) because her trial counsel filed multiple motions seeking additional time to file other motions and sought a continuance for personal medical reasons during this period. The trial...

Kitchens v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia devolvió el caso de asesinato de un hombre del condado de Bibb al tribunal de primera instancia tras determinar que el juez calculó mal hechos clave y aplicó mal la ley al rechazar su reclamo de que el estado violó su derecho a un juicio rápido.
WARREN, Presiding Justice. Appellant Deonte Kitchens was convicted of malice murder and other crimes in connection with the shooting death of Alveno Culver. 1 Kitchens filed a motion for new trial claiming, among other 1 Culver was killed on October 29, 2011. In November 2015, a Bibb County grand jury indicted Kitchens and Kelvin Carswell for various crimes...

The Sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees criminal defendants “the right to a speedy . . . trial,” among other things. A defendant’s claim that the State violated this constitutional right is analyzed under January 2025. Kitchens filed a timely...

Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia anuló un fallo que negaba la moción de un acusado de asesinato del condado de Fulton para desestimar su acusación por motivos de juicio rápido, al encontrar que el tribunal de primera instancia cometió errores de hecho y aplicó mal la ley al ponderar la demora.

Lee v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó la condena de Kevin Lee por el asesinato de su esposa Ann Berry en 1991, cuyos restos no se encontraron hasta 2011, rechazando impugnaciones a la evidencia, un fallo sobre rumores, un cambio de jurado y el desempeño de sus abogados.
To prevail on these claims, Lee must show both deficient performance and resulting prejudice. See Strickland v. Washington, 466 US 668, 687 (1984). To show deficient performance, Lee “must demonstrate that counsel performed counsel’s duties in an objectively unreasonable way, considering all of the circumstances and in the light of prevailing professional...
“Whether to file a demand for speedy trial is usually a matter of trial tactics and strategy, as a delay in bringing the case to trial may work to a defendant’s advantage.” Jones v.

McIver v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó la condena por asesinato de Benjamin McIver en un homicidio en el condado de Chatham, pero revocó su condena por robo a mano armada porque la evidencia mostró que el arma se usó solo después de que ya se había tomado la tarjeta de débito de la víctima.
After the judgment of conviction was entered and a motion for new trial was filed, new appellate counsel filed both an amended motion for new trial and a motion for funds to obtain forensic expert testimony and a report on the DNA evidence. At the first hearing on McIver’s motion for new trial, trial counsel testified that, although about 50 percent of his...

Byrd v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó la condena por asesinato con malicia de un hombre que disparó a otro hombre que lo abofeteó en una fiesta de adolescentes, rechazando alegatos sobre pruebas insuficientes, una renuncia inválida al jurado y asistencia legal ineficaz.
4. Finally, Appellant claims that he was denied the effective assistance of counsel with respect to his trial counsel’s recommendation that he waive his right to a jury trial. To prevail on a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel, Appellant must prove both that the attorney’s performance was professionally deficient and that the deficiency resulted in...
The reasonableness of trial counsel’s strategic decision to advise a defendant to waive his right to a jury trial should be “examined from counsel’s perspective at the time of trial and under the particular circumstances of the case.” Taylor v. State, 312 Ga. 1, 15 (860 SE2d 470) (2021) (cleaned up). Here, the record demonstrates that trial counsel’s advice...

Sprayberry v. Morris
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia revocó la decisión de un tribunal de habeas que había anulado la condena por asesinato de Edward Morris, dictaminando que sus abogados de juicio y de apelación no fueron inconstitucionalmente ineficaces en los reclamos que el tribunal de habeas consideró.
