Alford v. State

Court of Appeals of Georgia

Decided September 11, 2008No. A08A0812PublishedCited by 9 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

Mikell, Judge.

A Glynn County jury convicted Joel Alford, Jr., of trafficking in cocaine, and the trial court sentenced him to a term of 30 years, with 20 to serve and the rest on probation. Alford appeals the order denying his motion for new triad, arguing that the trial court erred in (1) denying his motion for mistrial based on the state’s failure to “reveal the deal” with the confidential informant (“Cl”), (2) admitting the Cl’s hearsay statements, (3) denying his motion to suppress the cocaine, and (4) denying his claim of ineffective assistance of counsel. Discerning no error, we affirm.
