Shorter v. State

Court of Appeals of Georgia

1Opinion of the Court

Barnes, Judge.

Spencer Shorter appeals his convictions for three counts of aggravated assault on a police officer, fleeing, or attempting to elude a police officer, obstruction of a police officer, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. This appeal arose from the same incident and trial addressed in Shaw v. State, 238 Ga. App. 757 (519 SE2d 486) (1999). Shorter argues his first appellate counsel was ineffective for waiving his right to assert his trial counsel’s ineffectiveness. He also argues that insufficient evidence supports the verdicts. For the reasons that follow, we affirm.
