How courts have described this case

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

• trial counsel is not ineffective for failing to object when such objection would be without merit
• witness’s opinion testimony admissible where it is rationally based on his perception and helpful to understanding his testimony
• “The contemporaneous objection rule cannot be avoided by characterizing trial occurrences as examples of prosecutorial misconduct.”
• lay witnesses’ testimony that the defendant must have been the killer was rationally based on their perceptions and helpful to understanding their testimony
• failure to object at trial to alleged error results in waiver of appellate review
• “And even though [the witnesses’] opinion about who killed the victims addressed an ultimate issue in the case, that alone does not make the testimony objectionable.” (citation and punctuation omitted)
