Williams v. State

Court of Appeals of Georgia

Decided June 5, 2003No. A03A0621PublishedCited by 18 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

Phipps, Judge.

A jury found Larawl Ashley Williams guilty of criminal trespass, felony obstruction, and simple assault. He appeals, arguing that the evidence was not sufficient to support the criminal trespass and obstruction convictions, that the prosecutor made improper comments during closing argument, and that he received ineffective assistance of counsel. We find that the evidence was sufficient to support the criminal trespass conviction, but that there was insufficient evidence of obstruction and that Williams received ineffective assistance. We therefore reverse.
