Freddie Davis v. Georgia

How later courts describe this case

• failure of trial counsel to object to admission of defendant’s confession did not constitute ineffective assistance because there was considerable independent evidence of defendant’s guilt
• point-blank range, handgun, execution style shooting of victim in back of head, while he lay prone on the floor of the liquor store pleading to be spared and after money had been taken from cash register, was properly called heinous, atrocious and cruel
• denial of state post-conviction relief
