Ivory v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld Larry Ivory's convictions for murder and armed robbery, rejecting his claims that the evidence was too weak, that a co-defendant's out-of-court statement was improperly used against him, and that he should have been tried separately.
Johns v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld George Sharrod Johns's malice murder conviction in the stabbing death of Jason Cason Jr., rejecting challenges to the evidence, autopsy photographs, and testimony from a medical examiner who did not perform the autopsy.
P&J Beverage Corporation v. the Bottle Shop, LLC
The Supreme Court of Georgia ruled that a business seeking damages for 'abusive litigation' must send a notice that not only names the lawsuit at issue but also says it believes that lawsuit was abusive litigation. An email that only warned of a separate wrongful injunction claim did not count.
Reynolds v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld Jeremy Reynolds's malice murder conviction for the 2008 shooting death of Barry Bullard, finding eyewitness testimony and other evidence more than enough for a jury to convict him.
Rhodes v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld Addonis Rhodes's murder conviction in a Bibb County gang-related killing, rejecting his challenges to a Facebook post used as evidence and his claims that his trial lawyer was ineffective.
Robinson v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld Kenneth Robinson's murder and related convictions from a 2008 gang killing in Fulton County, rejecting his claims that his lawyer botched a plea deal and that his sentencing was unconstitutional.
Robinson v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld a man's decision to plead guilty to felony murder despite his claim he had a seizure an hour before the plea hearing, but it corrected a sentencing error on a related count.
Rouse v. State

Whisnant v. State

Williams v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld a DeKalb County man's murder conviction for killing his fiancée, rejecting his claims that his trial lawyer should have objected to certain testimony and prosecutor comments.
In the Matter of Charles M. Dalziel, Jr
The Supreme Court of Georgia suspended a longtime securities lawyer for six months for failing to properly account to a client for a retainer, though it questioned other misconduct findings a special master had relied on.
In the Matter of Justin Allen Chin

CHAPMAN v. THE STATE (Two Cases)
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld the murder and aggravated assault convictions of Yaquan Chapman and Jordan Watson, rejecting claims that trial errors and ineffective lawyering tainted their joint trial for a deadly Butts County robbery shooting.
Hilton v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld Gregory Hilton's murder conviction for shooting his neighbor, ruling that even if the trial judge should have instructed the jury on voluntary manslaughter, the mistake did not affect the outcome given the strength of the evidence against him.
Jacobs v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld a Butts County man's murder conviction, ruling that he validly waived his right to be present when the jury went outside the courthouse to view the van connected to the shooting.
Kitchens v. State
