Paul v. State

Court of Appeals of Georgia

Decided March 6, 2015No. A14A1641PublishedCited by 5 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

McFadden, Judge.

Jernerick Paul appeals from his burglary conviction. He challenges the sufficiency of the evidence, the admission of certain evidence found during his arrest, the effectiveness of his trial counsel and the lack of a jury charge on the defense of mistake of fact. Because there is enough evidence to support the verdict, the trial court properly admitted evidence of items as a circumstance of the arrest, Paul was not prejudiced by his counsel’s performance, and he claimed a mistake of law rather than a mistake of fact, the challenges are without merit and we affirm.
