third day of trial to replace appointed counsel; however, “Winner previously represented Davis at the preliminary hearing, had two weeks to prepare for that hearing, and used the same two witnesses at that hearing that he used at trial. Before being retained at trial, Winner was kept aware of the trial proceedings through Davis's family, who had been trying to hire Winner, to the point that Winner even called the district attorney in October and December 2011 to find out when the trial date was set. After Davis hired Winner, Rasnick handed the entire case file to Winner and Winner stated that he used all of his free time to review the file and prepare his trial strategy. Though Winner's time was limited, he had prior familiarity with the case and witnesses, and the trial court did not err in finding that he did not render ineffective assistance. [fn: We note that any lack of time to prepare was a consequence of a decision made by Davis. Winner warned Davis that substituting counsel mid-trial was a terrible idea. The trial judge specifically went over the perils of substituting counsel mid-trial with Davis. Davis proceeded with substitute counsel against the warnings of both the trial judge and Winner.] ” Ottley v. State, 325 Ga.App. 15, 752 S.E.2d 92 (November 20, 2013). Child molestation, incest, and related convictions reversed based on ineffective assistance of counsel. Trial counsel failed to adequately prepare for, research or cross- examine the testimony of State’s experts, especially a nurse who testified that the condition of victim’s hymen and labia showed repeated blunt trauma. On motion for new trial, counsel testified that “[h]e had no idea … ‘that a nurse was going to be allowed to testify like a doctor and give opinions that a child had been molested.’” At hearing on motion for new trial, defendant presented the affidavit of State’s doctor, who said that, if asked at trial, he would have disagreed with the nurse’s conclusions. As Georgia law is clear that a qualified nurse may testify to matters within the scope of their expertise, “we find that Ottley's counsel's assumption that [nurse] Cooley would never be allowed to give expert medical testimony was not reasonable given the information available to him prior to trial.” “[W]e find it troubling that the defense strategy was to show that the victim fabricated her testimony, yet counsel failed to investigate Cooley's findings in the report that the victim suffered from trauma in her genital area or Dr. Mansfield's potential testimony—together the only testimony on the physical evidence to be presented by the State supporting the allegations. Nor did counsel consult or call any medical expert to support the defense theory that the incidents could not have happened because the hymen was intact. … But because Ottley's counsel failed to cross-examine Dr. Mansfield or to present any other medical evidence, “the jury was left with the impression that the opinions of the State's expert witnesses were unassailable. We must agree that this omission fell below the standard of acceptable professional conduct.” Goldstein [ v. State, 283 Ga.App. 1, 8(3), 640 S.E.2d 599 (2006)]. See also Darst v. State, 323 Ga.App. 614 2(a)(ii), 746 S.E.2d 865 (July 16, 2013) (physical precedent only) (counsel's failure to present expert testimony regarding the behavioral patterns of sexually abused children constituted deficient assistance of counsel).” Roberts v. State, 322 Ga.App. 659, 745 S.E.2d 850 (July 3, 2013). Convictions for aggravated assault and related offenses affirmed; defendant couldn’t claim ineffective assistance based on counsel’s lack of preparation where defendant’s own failure to exercise diligence in retaining counsel until the eve of trial caused the situation. Herndon v. State, 235 Ga.App. 258, 259-260, 509 S.E.2d 142 (1998). Bulloch v. State, 293 Ga. 179, 744 S.E.2d 763 (June 17, 2013). Malice murder and related convictions affirmed; no ineffective assistance where trial counsel elected not to duplicate the efforts of co-defendants’ counsel in interviewing witnesses. “In the Strickland opinion, the Supreme Court of the United States recognized that reasonable professional judgments may support limitations on trial counsel's investigations. 466 U.S. at 691. We find no error in the court's determination that trial counsel's trial preparation was not deficient.” Maurer v. State, 320 Ga.App. 585, 740 S.E.2d 318 (March 21, 2013). Child molestation conviction affirmed; no ineffective assistance based on failure to interview State’s witnesses absent a showing “that there is a reasonable likelihood that the outcome of the trial would have been different had counsel interviewed these witnesses himself. See Johnson v. State, 287 Ga. 767, 770(2), 700 S.E.2d 346 (2010) (defendant failed to show outcome of trial would have been different if witness had been interviewed); see Hampton v. State, 279 Ga. 625, 627–628(4), 619 S.E.2d 616 (2005) (ineffective assistance claim failed where defendant did not make required proffer regarding the testimony of those he contended were not adequately interviewed).” Accord, Pruitt v. State , 323 Ga.App. 689, 747 S.E.2d 694 (August 8, 2013); Grant v. State , 295 Ga. 126, 757 S.E.2d 831 (April 22, 2014). Schutt v. State, 292 Ga. 625, 740 S.E.2d 163 (March 18, 2013). Malice murder and related convictions affirmed; no ineffective assistance “in failing to advocate for [defendant] to have makeup, a wig, and personal grooming tools to enable Appellant to look nicer at trial. … [T]rial counsel testified at the motion for new trial hearing that it was part of his trial strategy to present Appellant to the jury as a psychologically defeated and traumatized young woman who had
