Hentrez Reed was convicted of malice murder and related offenses after Nigel James was shot and killed during an attempted robbery. Reed challenged trial counsel’s failure to seek suppression of statements made during a police interview, historical cell-site location information, and an affidavit and note connected to a codefendant. The Georgia Supreme Court affirmed. It held that Reed failed to show that suppression motions would have succeeded or that counsel’s decisions caused prejudice. The record supported admission of Reed’s statements and location evidence, and the affidavit and note were not grounds for relief under the applicable hearsay and Confrontation Clause principles. The Court also found that the strong evidence—including a codefendant’s account, Reed’s connection to the murder weapon, his false alibi, and corroborating records—made any assumed deficiency nonprejudicial. The murder and related convictions therefore remained intact.
