Watson v. State

Miller, Chief Judge.

A Meriwether County jury convicted Steven Jesse Watson of two counts of aggravated child molestation (OCGA § 16-6-4 (c)) and three counts of child molestation (OCGA § 16-6-4 (a)). Watson appeals from the trial court’s order denying his motion for a new trial, arguing that he received ineffective assistance of counsel at trial because his trial counsel failed to call his mother and aunt as witnesses and to challenge the credibility of the victim and the victim’s brother. Concluding that Watson failed to establish that his trial counsel’s performance was deficient, we affirm.
