Tolbert v. State, 227 Ga. App. 647, 490 S.E.2d 183 (decided under former O.C.G.A. § 24-3-17). Ineffective assistance of counsel for failing to object to officer’s hearsay testimony. — Appellate court reversed the trial court’s denial of the defendant’s motion for a new trial with respect to the two misdemeanor traffic violations because the prejudice from trial counsel’s failure to object was clear since the officer’s hearsay testimony was the only evidence offered to prove the elements of the traffic offenses and had the evidence been excluded, there would not have been sufficient evidence to convict on those offenses.
