Weston v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld a Morgan County man's malice murder conviction, ruling that circumstantial evidence including matching shell casings, threats, and flight to Kansas was enough to support the jury's verdict.
Wood v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld Tabitha Wood's murder conviction, ruling that the trial judge properly excluded witness testimony about her fiancé's violence toward other women even though Wood claimed self-defense.
In the Matter of Walter Douglas Adams
The Supreme Court of Georgia reinstated attorney Walter Douglas Adams to practice law after finding he had satisfied the conditions the court had previously set for his return to the bar.
In THE MATTER OF ESTON WILLIAM HOOD, JR. (Two Cases)
The Supreme Court of Georgia suspended attorney Eston William Hood, Jr. for two years, rejecting a recommended one-year suspension as too lenient given his admitted false statements to opposing counsel, courtroom staff, and the State Bar itself.
In the Matter of Austin O. Jones
The Supreme Court of Georgia accepted attorney Austin O. Jones's petition to voluntarily surrender his law license after he pleaded guilty to two federal felony charges of possession of child pornography, a step treated the same as disbarment.
In the Matter of Christian Aaron Coomer
The Supreme Court of Georgia accepted a two-year law license suspension for Christian Aaron Coomer, a former Court of Appeals judge, over conflicts of interest and financial dealings with an elderly client.
Manuel Garcia v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia dismissed as improvidently granted an appeal over whether a Georgia forfeiture law's publication-only notice violates due process, because the record showed the property owner had also been served by certified mail.
Gude v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld DeRon Gude's felony murder conviction, ruling that a flawed jury instruction on aggravated assault was not likely to have changed the trial's outcome under the plain error test.
In the Matter of David Carleton Head
The Supreme Court of Georgia disbarred Atlanta lawyer David Carleton Head after he was convicted of misdemeanor theft by conversion for taking title to an ambulance belonging to an elderly, vulnerable client.
In the Matter of Jeffrey Jackson
The Supreme Court of Georgia rejected an attorney's request to resolve eight client abandonment complaints with only a reprimand, finding too many unanswered questions about the harm he may have caused clients.
In the Matter of John Carl Huber
The Supreme Court of Georgia disbarred attorney John Carl Huber by accepting his voluntary surrender of license, backdated to May 12, 2021, after his felony convictions for aggravated assault, burglary, and other crimes.
Pounds v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld William Pounds's malice murder conviction for killing Kendra Jackson, rejecting his claims that the evidence was insufficient, that certain testimony was wrongly admitted, and that his trial lawyer was ineffective.
Starks v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld Joseph Starks's felony murder conviction from a fatal high-speed police chase, rejecting his claim that his lawyer should have pursued medical evidence instead of intoxication as an explanation for his unconsciousness.
Capote v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia dismissed its own grant of review in a Gwinnett County man's appeal, deciding this case was not the right vehicle to settle whether Georgia's 'clearly erroneous' and 'any evidence' standards for reviewing trial court fact-finding in criminal cases are the same thing.
GEORGIA ASSOCIATION OF CLUB EXECUTIVES, INC. v. STATE OF GEORGIA (Two Cases)
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld Georgia's one percent tax on adult entertainment clubs that combine nude dancing with alcohol sales, ruling the tax does not violate free speech rights because it targets the harms those businesses cause, not the dancing itself.
Jones v. City of Atlanta
The Supreme Court of Georgia ruled that a trial court wrongly dismissed a resident's lawsuit claiming Atlanta's water department secretly passes hidden taxes onto customers through two city ordinances, sending the case back for a proper review.
Miller v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld Bryan Miller's murder conviction, ruling that evidence of two earlier violent incidents with his wife was properly used to show a pattern in their relationship, despite Miller's claim that he shot her in self-defense.
WILLIAMS, CONGRESSWOMAN v. POWELL
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld a state law that makes it a crime to disrupt General Assembly sessions and meetings, rejecting claims that the law is unconstitutionally vague or so broad it sweeps in protected speech.
Whitaker Farms, LLC v. Fitzgerald Fruit Farms, LLC
The Supreme Court of Georgia ruled that statements a farm owner made during settlement talks cannot be used to prove liability for punitive damages, reversing a Court of Appeals decision that had allowed such evidence at a peach farm trespass trial.
BAKER v. THE STATE (Two Cases)
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld the murder convictions of Prentice Baker and Verlaine Laguerre, rejecting arguments that jurors needed a special warning about a witness who may have been an accomplice and that a lawyer's failure to object to fearful testimony was ineffective.
