Davis v. State

Court of Appeals of Georgia

1Opinion of the Court

Miller, Judge.

Following a jury trial, Daniel Austin Davis was convicted of aggravated assault and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. He appeals, claiming ineffective assistance of counsel in two respects: his counsel failed (1) to move to suppress his in-custody statements and (2) to have the videotape of his interview with police redacted to remove his use of profanity. We hold that evidence supported the trial court’s finding that Davis failed to show that either of these decisions constituted ineffective assistance. Accordingly, we affirm.
