In the Matter of L. Elizabeth Lane
The Supreme Court of Georgia accepted a Georgia attorney's request to permanently surrender her law license after she repeatedly failed to move a client's habeas corpus case forward and hid her declining health from him.
In the Matter of Nevada Michael Tuggle
The Supreme Court of Georgia ordered attorney Nevada Michael Tuggle disbarred after finding he neglected two vulnerable clients, ignored court judgments against him, and made only token, self-serving restitution offers.
NORTH AMERICAN SENIOR BENEFITS, LLC v. WIMMER
The Supreme Court of Georgia ruled that a non-recruitment clause in an employment contract does not need to spell out a specific geographic area to be enforceable, so long as its scope is reasonable under the circumstances.
Pope v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld a Bibb County trial court's rejection of a man's motion to withdraw his guilty plea to malice murder, finding the motion was filed nearly two years too late.
State v. Harris
The Supreme Court of Georgia ruled that a superior court wrongly sent a teenager's murder case back to juvenile court, holding that a timely first indictment kept the case in superior court even after a later reindictment added new charges.
VEST MONROE, LLC v. DOE
The Supreme Court of Georgia ruled that a trial court did not abuse its discretion when it denied class certification to patients whose health records were leaked by a fired employee, because their claims were not sufficiently typical of the lead plaintiff's claims.
Wyatt v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld a DeKalb County man's murder conviction, ruling that testimony about his knife attack on his ex-wife hours before the killing was properly admitted to counter his insanity defense.
Bowman v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld a Polk County man's murder conviction for killing his ex-fiancee, rejecting claims that his trial lawyer was ineffective and finding any error in admitting evidence of his past violence against a former wife was harmless.
Garrison v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia ruled that prosecutors do not have to prove COVID-19 judicial emergency orders extended a deadline to charge a DUI defendant, but sent her case back because the wrong legal test was used to admit breath-test-style field sobriety evidence.
Heyward v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld a DeKalb County woman's felony murder conviction for shooting her husband, ruling that her lawyer's jury-instruction choices did not cost her a realistic chance at a lesser verdict.
In the Matter of Anthony O. Van Johnson
The Supreme Court of Georgia accepted an Atlanta-area attorney's voluntary surrender of his law license after he admitted forging a client's signature on a settlement check, keeping her money, and abandoning other clients' cases.
In the Matter of Jonathan Reuven Melnick
The Supreme Court of Georgia suspended a Rockdale County lawyer for six months after he failed to tell his client about a court hearing and a $3,600 order against her, rejecting a lighter public reprimand recommended by a disciplinary review board.
Johnson v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld a Chatham County man's murder convictions, ruling that a state law speedy trial deadline does not override or block a separate claim under the federal Sixth Amendment right to a speedy trial.
Johnson v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld a DeKalb County man's murder conviction for stabbing his ex-girlfriend's father, rejecting claims that the trial judge should have given certain jury instructions or excluded a hearsay statement.
MILLER v. HODGE
The Supreme Court of Georgia dismissed an election challenge by a Chatham County voter because he waited too long to press his claims before a runoff election was held, even though the court clarified that such delayed challenges are not truly 'moot.'
McElrath v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia reversed its own prior ruling and held that Damian McElrath cannot be retried for malice murder, after the U.S. Supreme Court found the jury's not guilty by reason of insanity verdict was a genuine acquittal under the Double Jeopardy Clause.
Milliron v. Antonakakis
The Supreme Court of Georgia ruled that Georgia's Open Records Act covers records a public employee keeps in a separate role as a private contractor, and that requests for those records can go straight to the person holding them, even if the agency has a designated records officer.
Nunnally v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld a DeKalb County man's murder conviction, ruling that circumstantial evidence including cell phone records and text messages was enough to prove he killed his marijuana customer and that a party-to-a-crime jury instruction was proper.
Pinkins v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld a Gwinnett County man's murder conviction, ruling the evidence supported a finding of malice and that trying the charges involving both victims together was proper.
Russell v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld a Cobb County man's murder conviction for killing his ex-girlfriend's new boyfriend with a machete, rejecting his self-defense claim and his argument that his lawyer should have sought pretrial immunity from prosecution.
