Williams v. State
Court of Appeals of Georgia
1Opinion of the Court
Bernes, Judge.
A Bryan County jury convicted Clifford Lee Williams of child molestation. Williams appeals the trial court’s denial of his motion for new trial, asserting several errors with respect to the admission of child hearsay testimony. He also contends that the trial court erred in admitting evidence of his similar criminal acts against the victim, that the prosecutor made improper comments during closing argument, and that his trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance. For the reasons that follow, we affirm.
