Harris v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseDemartre Harris was convicted by jury of felony murder and other crimes for his involvement in two drive-by shootings that injured Laundon Alexander and Patrick Boyd and resulted in the death of Marcus Bowden. Harris argued on appeal: (1) the evidence was insufficient to support his convictions; (2) the trial court erred by admitting evidence pertaining to the weapons and ammunition that law enforcement officials found at the time of Harris’s arrest; (3) the trial court erred by admitting evidence pertaining to Harris’s Facebook posts; and (4) that Harris received constitutionally ineffective assistance of counsel because his trial lawyer failed to call Dashauna Wilborn as a witness. Finding no reversible error, the Georgia Supreme Court affirmed.
