Ellis v. State

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• rejecting a claim of ineffective assistance for failure to object to “rehabilitative questions” because “the court did not engage in improper rehabilitation in order to reject clear evidence of the juror’s bias”
• explaining our reluctance to “extend the automatic disqualification rules for jurors beyond the statutorily prohibited relationships and, in criminal cases, full-time law enforcement officers and employees of the prosecutor’s office” 8 (citation and punctuation omitted)
• defendant guilty for murder as a party to a crime because the crimes he did intend were dangerous and created a foreseeable risk of death
• inasmuch as objection would have had questionable merit, it was not unreasonable trial strategy to withhold objection and avoid drawing needless attention to unfavorable testimony
• judge’s statement in ruling on objection that evidence was “admissible as a prior consistent” did not violate OCGA § 17-8-57
• a trial judge commented regarding a witness’s statement in the presence of the jury that “I think it is admissible as a prior consistent” and the statement was made in the context of a ruling on Ellis’s objection to the earlier statement, OCGA § 17-8-57 was not violated
