Fleureme v. City of Atlanta et al.
The Supreme Court of Georgia ruled that a person suing Atlanta over an injury can satisfy the legal notice requirement by mailing a claim addressed to the 'Office of the Mayor,' rather than to the mayor by name.
Arnsdorff v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld an Effingham County man's murder conviction, ruling that his hiding, communications, and actions before and after the shooting were enough evidence that he shared the shooter's intent to kill.
Bowdery v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld Ryan Bowdery's murder conviction in a Fulton County gang shooting, finding an accomplice's out-of-court statement was sufficiently backed by other evidence and that the trial court handled a disputed closing argument appropriately.
Guy v. Housing Authority of the City of Augusta
The Supreme Court of Georgia vacated a ruling that shielded the Augusta Housing Authority from a shooting victim's lawsuit, holding that lower courts used the wrong legal test to decide whether the authority has sovereign immunity as a city instrumentality.
Walmart Stores East, Lp v. Leverette
The Supreme Court of Georgia ruled that a jury cannot award $1 million as 'nominal damages,' holding that under long-standing common law, nominal damages must be a trivial, token sum rather than a large amount.
COLEMAN v. THE STATE (Four Cases)
The Supreme Court of Georgia ruled that a trial court wrongly forced a man to answer questions about a factual proffer that could expose him to federal prosecution, and that two gang members could each be convicted of only one count of contempt, not dozens, for refusing to testify.
ESTES v. PIERACCINI
The Supreme Court of Georgia declined to review a Court of Appeals ruling that a mental health provider could not claim the psychiatrist-patient privilege, leaving in place a decades-old test for who counts as a 'psychiatrist' under Georgia evidence law.
Foots v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld Keitran Foots's murder conviction for shooting Sharika Bowman, ruling that the jury was entitled to reject his claim that he acted in self-defense.
Fuller v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld a Spalding County woman's felony murder conviction for her role in her son's fatal shooting of a man in her hotel room, over a dissent that found the evidence too thin.
Gayle v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld a Chatham County man's felony murder conviction for kidnapping Melanie Steele, ruling the jury could reasonably decide a key witness was not an accomplice and therefore his testimony needed no separate corroboration.
Hart v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld a Clayton County mother's malice murder conviction for the beating death of her four-year-old daughter, rejecting claims of insufficient evidence, ineffective defense counsel, and trial court error, while also declining the state's request to send future non-death-penalty murder appeals to the Court of Appeals.
Lee v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld Terrence Lee's convictions for felony murder and other crimes tied to five 2018 home invasions in Gwinnett County, rejecting his challenges to evidence rulings, jury instructions, and the decision not to split the charges into separate trials.
Padgett v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld John Padgett's malice murder conviction for strangling his former girlfriend, rejecting his claims that his trial lawyer's handling of DNA evidence, other-acts evidence, and an uncalled witness amounted to constitutionally ineffective assistance.
Quintanar v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld Abraham Quintanar's felony murder convictions from a botched armed robbery, rejecting challenges to his police confession and trial rulings, but voided one duplicate conviction that should have merged with another.
The MEDICAL CENTER OF CENTRAL GEORGIA, INC. v. TURNER
The Supreme Court of Georgia vacated a ruling that let a $7.2 million wrongful death damages award stand without applying the court's own legal test for whether Georgia's cap on medical malpractice damages violates the right to jury trial.
Wilson v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia reversed Andrew Wilson's murder conviction, ruling the trial court should not have let jurors hear about a 2011 armed robbery because it was too generic to prove motive or a common criminal scheme.
Boone v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld a Crisp County man's murder conviction for stabbing his friend to death alongside his girlfriend, rejecting arguments that his confession was uncorroborated and that his lawyer should have objected to the prosecutor's closing argument.
Clark v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld Dereckson Clark's murder conviction, rejecting his claims about a jury instruction, an evidence ruling, and his lawyer's handling of a juror's bathroom breaks.
Coston v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld a DeKalb County man's murder and armed robbery convictions in a fatal shooting during a drug sale, rejecting his challenges to the evidence, his lawyer's performance, and the trial court's evidentiary rulings.
DATES v. CITY OF ATLANTA
The Supreme Court of Georgia ruled that the six-month deadline for notifying a city of a potential injury claim cannot be extended just because the injured person is a minor.
