  1. Elkins v. State

    306 Ga. 351 (Ga. 2019)   Cited 26 times
    Holding that when a defendant is represented by new counsel at the motion for new trial stage, claims of ineffective assistance of trial counsel that are not raised at that stage are not preserved for appellate review

    Because he failed to raise this claim at the earliest practicable moment, he did not preserve it for appellate review. See, e.g., Golson v. State , ––– Ga. ––––, 829 S.E.2d 74, 2019 WL 2332047 (Case No. S19A0565; (decided June 3, 2019) ); King v. State , 304 Ga. 349, 351, 818 S.E.2d 612 (2018) ; Billings v. State , 293 Ga. 99, 102-103, 745 S.E.2d 583 (2013). (b) Appellant also asserts that he received ineffective assistance of counsel at the motion for new trial stage, because his motion-for-new-trial counsel, Mason, failed to support a specific claim of ineffective assistance of trial counsel based on Gough’s alleged sleeping through portions of the trial.
