  1. Rider v. State

    366 Ga. App. 260 (Ga. Ct. App. 2022)   Cited 6 times
    Holding that the appellant had abandoned any challenge to his drug-related convictions on sufficiency grounds where his appellate brief focused solely on his sex-related convictions

    "And, although [Rider] testified and denied the [children's] accusations, the jury was under no obligation to believe him." Green v. State , 358 Ga. App. 843, 846 (1), 856 S.E.2d 427 (2021). The evidence therefore was sufficient to sustain Rider's convictions.

  4. Jones v. State

    No. A23A1156 (Ga. Ct. App. Oct. 3, 2023)

    Accordingly, Jones's argument in this regard is entirely speculative, "and mere speculation will not support a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel." (Citation and punctuation omitted.) Green v. State, 358 Ga.App. 843, 854855 (7) (b) (856 S.E.2d 427) (2021).

  6. Miles v. State

    362 Ga. App. 288 (Ga. Ct. App. 2022)   Cited 2 times
    Concluding that because a trial court never errs in failing to instruct the jury on a lesser-included offense when there is no written request to so charge, there was no reversible error, and when there was no reversible error, it follows that there could be no plain error either

    Because Miles has failed to show any error, he has likewise failed to show cumulative error. See Green v. State , 358 Ga. App. 843, 855 (8), 856 S.E.2d 427 (2021) ; Crider v. State , 356 Ga. App. 36, 50 (4), 846 S.E.2d 205 (2020). For the above-stated reasons, we affirm Miles’ convictions.

  7. Thomas v. State

    359 Ga. App. 861 (Ga. Ct. App. 2021)

    Thus, we must now consider whether Thomas relinquished his right to be present. Id. at –––– (2) (c), 854 S.E.2d 706 ; Green v. State , 358 Ga. App. 843, –––– (3), 856 S.E.2d 427 (2021). [T]he right to be present belongs to the defendant, and he is free to relinquish it if he so chooses.
