Terrence Burney was convicted of malice murder and related offenses in the killing of an elderly Jones County man. He challenged the sufficiency of the evidence, his self-representation, medical-examiner testimony, speedy-trial rights, and a juror’s internet research during deliberations. The Georgia Supreme Court affirmed. It held that the evidence supported the murder conviction, the trial court properly handled Burney’s decision to represent himself, and the medical-examiner testimony was admissible. The court also held that the juror’s misconduct was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt because the juror did not share the information with other jurors and the misconduct did not affect the verdict. The Court concluded that the alleged errors, considered individually or cumulatively, did not require a new trial.
