Heard v. Georgia

Derrick Heard appealed his conviction for the murder of Robert Ledbetter. Heard argued on appeal that his constitutional right to a speedy trial was violated; that the trial court erred by allowing two of the State's peremptory strikes; and that the court erred by preventing him from introducing certain evidence about Ledbetter. Finding no reversible error, the Supreme Court affirmed. View "Heard v. Georgia" on Justia Law
