Christopher Woods called 911 after shooting his roommate and then made repeated incriminating statements to officers and paramedics. He argued on appeal that counsel mishandled his right to testify and that the record showed ineffective assistance. The Supreme Court of Georgia held that Woods failed to prove any unreasonable advice or prejudice, because the motion-for-new-trial record showed only that he declined to testify after consulting with the court. His convictions were affirmed.
