Moss v. State

How courts have described this case

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

• holding that the defendant’s right to confront his accusers did not require the trial court to allow him “to introduce evidence based purely on rumor, speculation, and conjecture” (citation and punctuation omitted)
• applying Klinect’s rule regarding the admissibility of third-party guilt evidence in a case decided under Georgia’s current Evidence Code based on OCGA § 24-4-403
• pretermitting the argument that the search warrant in that case “was invalid because it was issued by a recorder’s court rather than a superior court”
• rejecting argument that trial counsel was ineffective for “failing to protect [appellant’s] right to procedural due process” because appellant “has not shown any violation of his rights, and it follows that he has not shown deficient performance or prejudice”
• pre-autopsy “photographs are generally admissible even when the cause of death is not in dispute” (citation and punctuation omitted)
• “A lawyer is not required to make an objection that he reasonably believes will fail.”
