USA - Georgia. The Supreme Court of Georgia reinstated the death sentence for Johnnie Worsley

The Supreme Court of Georgia unanimously reversed a Muscogee County court ruling in a decision that reinstates the death sentence for Johnnie Worsley for the March 8, 1995 rape and murder of his 17-year-old stepdaughter Yameika Bell and the murder of his wife Flora Worsley. In 2012, the Muscogee County court had set aside the death sentences after finding that his trial attorneys had been incompetent and ineffective. In today's opinion, the justices wrote that Worsley's lawyers should have objected to some testimony during the trial, but his appeal failed to prove that the trial would have had a different outcome had that happened.
