SHELLS v. THE STATE (Two Cases)
The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed the murder and robbery convictions of Lewis Shells and Marcus Leslie, rejecting challenges to the sufficiency of the evidence, trial procedures, evidence rulings, and claims that their lawyers were ineffective.
Taylor v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld a DeKalb County woman's murder conviction, rejecting her claim that her trial lawyer failed to explore whether her codefendant was actually the shooter, because her appeal lacked evidence to support that claim.
Welsch v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld a Lowndes County man's murder convictions in a bench trial shooting death of two men, rejecting his claims that the evidence was too weak and that testimony about the victim's dying words was wrongly admitted.
State v. Lee
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld a Fulton County judge's decision to suppress a murder suspect's confession, ruling that police kept questioning him after he invoked his right to remain silent instead of waiting for him to genuinely reopen the conversation.
Burns v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld a Columbia County man's felony murder conviction, finding the evidence was sufficient and that his statements to police and autopsy photographs were properly admitted at trial.
Dickerson v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld John Lorenzo Dickerson's felony murder conviction for the shooting of Bernie Givens, ruling that any errors in evidence and jury instructions were harmless given strong evidence of his guilt.
Franklin v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld a DeKalb County man's felony murder conviction, rejecting his claim that his trial lawyer should have challenged the searches of two phones tied to the crime.
In the Matter of Mylee McKinney
The Supreme Court of Georgia ruled that a suspended attorney's failure to properly reject a bar discipline notice on time did not bar her from defending herself, and sent all seven remaining misconduct allegations against her back to the State Bar for formal proceedings.
In the Matter of Nubiyn Matamalaki Mosi Mzekewe
The Supreme Court of Georgia disbarred an Atlanta-area lawyer for expanding his representation without his client's consent, charging a 40 percent contingency fee he was not entitled to, and converting $80,000 of disputed funds to his own use.
In the Matter of W. McCall Calhoun, Jr
The Supreme Court of Georgia rejected a proposed public reprimand for an attorney who admitted trespassing at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, finding his own social media posts suggest conduct far more serious than the parties had described.
Phillips v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld Eureon Phillips's felony murder conviction in the shooting death of Tiffany Valkoun, rejecting his challenges to the evidence, a denied mistrial motion, and limits on playing witness statements to the jury.
Stapleton v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld a Macon man's murder conviction, rejecting claims that unsworn bailiffs, his lawyers' failure to object to certain evidence, and a denied jury instruction entitled him to a new trial.
Wells v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld Tobias Wells's felony murder conviction for a fatal shooting during an attempted robbery, rejecting his claims about the evidence, plea deals given to co-defendants, and jury instructions.
Williams v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld a DeKalb County man's murder conviction, rejecting his claims that new evidence of possible drugging, a missing jury instruction on involuntary intoxication, and his lawyer's performance entitled him to a new trial.
Williams v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld a Gwinnett County man's guilty plea to malice murder, rejecting his claims that the plea was coerced and that he had not properly waived his trial rights, but ordered two of his sentences erased because they should have merged.
Adams v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld Tony Adams Jr.'s murder conviction for killing his mother, rejecting claims that his trial lawyer was ineffective, but ordered a separate aggravated assault conviction erased because it duplicated the murder charge.
Byrd v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld Tommy Joe Byrd's felony murder conviction, ruling that a witness's brief, unprompted mention of his past time in prison did not require a mistrial.
Dills v. Weaver
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld a Spalding County woman's right to a new trial, ruling that her trial lawyer had a conflict of interest from previously representing her co-defendant husband that kept him from blaming him for her infant son's injuries.
In the Matter of Stephanie Dianne Woodard
The Supreme Court of Georgia suspended former Hall County Solicitor General Stephanie Dianne Woodard from practicing law for 12 months, backdated to when she became an inactive State Bar member, for misappropriating public funds.
Murray v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld the denial of a Houston County man's request to withdraw his guilty plea to malice murder, finding the trial court did not abuse its discretion in rejecting his claims that the plea was involuntary and his lawyer ineffective.
