How courts have described this case

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

• holding that a sentence containing an improper parole condition “must be vacated and the case remanded to the trial court with direction to enter a legal sentence”
• holding that the appellant had not shown that “no reasonable attorney” would have failed to object to a prosecutor’s statement in closing argument that trial counsel believed was “innocuous” and “would not impact the jury’s decision” (citation and punctuation omitted)
• explaining that an appellant “cannot prevail on a claim of ineffectiveness on the basis that his trial counsel failed to rely on a case that was not applicable to his trial”
• relying, in part, on St. Romaine, 251 Ga. App. at 213, to hold that the appellant’s claim that the trial court abused its discretion by denying his mistrial motion was not preserved for appeal
• an appellate court need not address both prongs if the defendant makes an insufficient showing on one
• “in order to show that he was prejudiced by the performance of his lawyer, a claimant must prove a reasonable probability that, but for counsel’s unprofessional errors, the result of the proceeding would have been different”
