Davenport v. State
Court of Appeals of Georgia
1Opinion of the Court
Bernes, Judge.
A Coweta County jury convicted Curtis P. Davenport of one count of rape and four counts of child molestation. On appeal from the denial of his amended motion for new trial, Davenport does not contest the sufficiency of the evidence to convict him on all counts. Rather, he contends that the trial court committed plain error by allowing two of the State’s witnesses to provide improper opinion testimony about the truthfulness of the victim. Davenport also argues that his trial counsel was constitutionally ineffective on several grounds. Finding no reversible error, we affirm.
