SULLIVAN v. KEMP

No. S13A1259.

749 S.E.2d 721 (2013)

293 Ga. 770

SULLIVAN v. KEMP.

Supreme Court of Georgia.

October 7, 2013.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Laura Grace Hastay , Savannah, for Sullivan.

Patricia B. Attaway Burton , Senior Asst. Atty. Gen., Paula Khristian Smith , Senior Asst. Atty. Gen., Department of Law, Atlanta, Daniel Melvin King, Jr. , King Law Group, Dublin, for Appellee.

BENHAM, Justice.

This Court granted Patrick Sullivan's certificate of probable cause to appeal the denial of his petition for habeas corpus. Because we agree with Sullivan that his appellate counsel's performance was deficient and there is a reasonable probability that counsel's error prejudiced the defense, we reverse the habeas court's ruling.

Details of this case are set forth in Sullivan v. State, 277 Ga.App. 738
