Question Presented (from Petition)

Whether the Georgia courts violated petitioner's constitutional rights by convicting and sentencing him for Aggravated Stalking based on conduct occurring outside Georgia's geographical boundaries when Georgia courts lack statutory jurisdiction over non-residents who do not enter the state, and when the essential aggravating element of the offense—violation of a restraining order issued under O.C.G.A. § 19-13-4—cannot be violated by out-of-state conduct.

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether the petitioner's conviction for aggravated stalking was unconstitutional due to lack of jurisdiction, ineffective assistance of counsel, and retroactive substantive limitations on the stalking statute
