Pinkston v. State

Barnes, Judge.

Following a bench, trial, Pedrick Pinkston was found guilty of two counts of felony obstruction of an officer and simple battery. He appeals his conviction contending that the evidence was insufficient and that he received ineffective assistance of counsel. Upon review, we affirm the judgment of conviction, but remand this case for a hearing on Pinkston’s ineffective assistance claim.

1. On appeal from a criminal conviction, we view the evidence in the light most favorable to the verdict, and Pinkston no longer enjoys the presumption of innocence. Dudley v. State, 264 Ga. App.…
