Lofton v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseHakim Lofton was convicted by jury of malice murder and possession of a firearm, in connection with the 2013 shooting death of Jason Walker. On appeal, Lofton challenged the sufficiency of the evidence presented against him, and contended the trial court erred in admitting cell-site location information that was obtained without a warrant, in failing to instruct the jury regarding the corroboration required for accomplice testimony, in allowing certain exhibits to go out with the jury, and in rejecting his claim that there was racial discrimination in jury selection. Lofton also contended he received ineffective assistance of counsel. Finding no reversible error, the Georgia Supreme Court affirmed Lofton's convictions.
