Harvey v. State, 274 Ga. 350, 351-352 (1) ( 554 SE2d 148) (2001). See also Hampton v. State, 294 Ga. App. 857, 861 (4) ( 670 SE2d 502) (2008). We conclude the trial court's decision here was not clearly erroneous, and therefore his statement was properly admitted at trial.
Petitioner appealed to the Georgia Court of Appeals, and his convictions were affirmed on November 25, 2008. See Hampton v. State, 670 S.E.2d 502 (Ga.Ct.App. 2008). Petitioner filed his first federal habeas corpus petition in 2013, raising multiple grounds for relief, including alleged error based on the evidence use to convict him, the fairness of his sentence, and his purported mental incompetence.
