been victimized by an abusive and violent husband. That was a reasonable strategy under the circumstances, and thus Appellant has failed to establish deficient performance.” Also no showing of prejudice. Poole v. State, 291 Ga. 848, 734 S.E.2d 1 (November 5, 2012). Convictions for murder and related offenses affirmed; no ineffective assistance in failing to investigate whether gun was defective and might have fired without pulling trigger. “Appellant bases her assertion on the affidavit of a firearms expert presented at the hearing on appellant's motion for new trial. The expert's affidavit stated that a design defect in the Remington rifle model 552 allowed the rifle to fire without activating the trigger. Trial counsel testified that his two investigators, both familiar with firearms due to past law- enforcement and military experience, had examined the rifle and neither had found such a defect.” “Trial counsel's decision to rely on his investigators' inspections of the rifle was not a dereliction of his duty to conduct a reasonable investigation since his decision was the result of reasoned strategic judgment and not the result of inattention. See Wiggins v. Smith, [539 U.S. 510, 526(II)(B)(1), 123 S.Ct. 2527, 156 L.Ed.2d 471 (2003)]; Terry v. Jenkins, 280 Ga. 341(2c), 627 S.E.2d 7 (2006).” Chapman v. State, 290 Ga. 631, 724 S.E.2d 391 (February 27, 2012). Felony murder conviction affirmed; no ineffective assistance shown. Defendant alleges ineffective assistance in engaging an investigator just 16 days before trial, but defendant “does not now specify how the investigation fell short due to time constraint or how additional time would have made any difference in his case; rather, he merely states the bare conclusion that the amount of time was insufficient for ‘the investigator to collect salient facts and relay them to [d]efense [c]ounsel for use at trial.’ This is insufficient to satisfy either prong of the Strickland standard. Judkins v. State, 282 Ga. 580, 584(5), 652 S.E.2d 537 (2007).” Bunn v. State, 307 Ga.App. 381, 705 S.E.2d 180 (October 27, 2010), affirmed on other grounds, 291 Ga. 183, 728 S.E.2d 569 (June 18, 2012). Convictions for child molestation, aggravated child molestation and child cruelty first degree affirmed; no ineffective assistance shown. “Although counsel's supervisor [in the Public Defender’s office] testified that typically 40 hours or more are needed for preparation of a child molestation case, no evidence was presented that 40 hours were needed to adequately prepare Bunn's case in light of the particular circumstances and degree of complexity. This is especially true here, where the supervisor acknowledged that she did not read the trial transcript and was ‘not sure of the exact allegations or details’ of the case, and where evidence showed that Bunn did not provide any assistance to his counsel in developing facts or defenses requiring time on his case. The trial court therefore did not err in concluding that Bunn failed to show counsel did not devote an adequate amount of time for trial preparation.” Cummings v. State, 306 Ga.App. 368, 702 S.E.2d 691 (October 6, 2010). Convictions for aggravated assault and firearms possession during felony affirmed; no ineffective assistance despite claim that “trial counsel was unprepared and disorganized. Trial counsel objected to the admission of several photographs of the crime scene on the grounds that copies of the photographs had not been provided to him by the State, but the trial court concluded the State had furnished the materials to the defense in its discovery packet. Trial counsel also complained during the trial that he had not received copies of two convictions offered by the State to impeach the testimony of a defense witness, but the trial court found nothing improper after the State responded that it had notified defense counsel of the particulars of the convictions in a discovery disclosure. … Although it appears likely that defense counsel misplaced several crime scene photographs, he was personally familiar with the crime scene because he visited it several times before trial. Nor did Cummings show that his trial counsel was unaware that the State intended to impeach the defense witness with prior convictions.” Horne v. State, 298 Ga.App. 601, 680 S.E.2d 616 (June 29, 2009). No ineffective assistance shown where defendant alleges failure to investigate case adequately, but fails to show what evidence would have been uncovered by further investigation. “We have held trial counsel was ineffective when he failed to uncover an alleged victim's numerous prior false molestation allegations. Gibbs v. State, 287 Ga.App. 694, 697-698(1)(a)(i) (652 S.E.2d 591) (2007). The Georgia Supreme Court found both trial counsel ineffective in a murder case for preparing for trial in a careless and unreasonable manner as shown by comparing the evidence presented at trial with the evidence presented at the motion for new trial hearing that trial counsel failed to discover. Terry v. Jenkins, 280 Ga. 341, 347(2)(c) (627 S.E.2d 7) (2006). But here, unlike the defendants in Gibbs and Terry, Horne has not developed for comparison evidence his counsel should have uncovered but did not, … or testimony an expert witness would have presented but did not. He simply argues that trial counsel should have investigated further. This argument does not establish that trial counsel's performance was deficient.” Accord, Cruz v. State , 305 Ga.App. 805, 700 S.E.2d 631 (August 20, 2010). Cleveland v. State, 285 Ga. 142, 674 S.E.2d 289 (March 9, 2009). Affirming 290 Ga.App. 835, 660 S.E.2d 777 (March 20, 2008). Trial court properly denied defendant’s motion for new trial, based on ineffective assistance; despite
