2011A common method of satisfying the cause and prejudice test is to show that trial and direct appeal counsel rendered ineffective assistance, see Turpin v. Todd, 268 Ga. 820, 824-826 ( 493 SE2d 900 ) (1997), and ineffective assistance is the only argument that Perkins offers to excuse the procedural default of his claim that he was incompetent at trial.

Valenzuela v. Newsomegreen

2 sentences

2011Miscarriage of Justice In addition to the cause and prejudice exception, OCGA § 9-14-48 (d) provides an exception to the procedural default rule where necessary “to avoid a miscarriage of justice.” Like its non-statutory federal counterpart, our statutory miscarriage of justice exception has always been interpreted as a very narrow exception tied to evidence of actual innocence, thereby advancing the fundamental purpose of the habeas writ, “which is to free the innocent wrongfully deprived of their liberty.” Valenzuela v. Newsome, 253 Ga. 793, 796 ( 325 SE2d 370 ) (1985).
