Lee v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld Edward Lee's murder conviction and other convictions from a 2011-2012 crime spree, finding his mistrial requests came too late and his lawyer's failure to object during closing argument was not ineffective assistance.
SUMTER COUNTY v. MORRIS
The Supreme Court of Georgia ruled that public use of a subdivision's roads alone cannot force Sumter County to repair them, unless county officials formally or informally accepted the roads as public.
Scoggins v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld Christopher Scoggins's murder conviction, ruling that circumstantial evidence of his presence, flight and conduct after a fatal shooting was enough for a jury to convict him as a party to the crime.
Scott v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld a Greene County man's felony murder conviction for shooting his girlfriend, finding that any errors in admitting his statements to investigators and other evidence were harmless.
State v. Shropshire
The Supreme Court of Georgia ruled that different tests must be used to decide whether a man's child molestation convictions should merge into his aggravated child molestation conviction, sending the case back to the Court of Appeals to redo that analysis.
WILSON v. INTHACHAK
The Supreme Court of Georgia decided it lacked jurisdiction over a medical malpractice case even though the Court of Appeals split 7-7 on part of its reasoning, because all 14 judges agreed the trial court's summary judgment order had to be undone.
Waters v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld a Laurens County man's guilty-but-mentally-ill felony murder conviction for shooting his longtime girlfriend, rejecting his claims of insufficient evidence and ineffective trial counsel.
In the Matter of Walter Douglas Adams
The Supreme Court of Georgia suspended attorney Walter Douglas Adams for one year and ordered him to repay $2,732.81 to a former client, rejecting the Special Master's recommendation of disbarment over a disputed $7,000 settlement.
BRAY v. WATKINS
The Supreme Court of Georgia vacated a Court of Appeals ruling that threw out a tornado warning lawsuit, holding that courts must decide whether sovereign immunity applies before ruling on the merits of a case.
CAROLE MASO v. BRIAN ZEH
The Supreme Court of Georgia declined to review a Court of Appeals ruling that a state law authorizing physicians to use physician assistants does not automatically make the physician liable for the assistant's mistakes. A concurring justice said the underlying question is important but wasn't properly raised in this case.
Carter v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld a Fulton County man's murder conviction, ruling that the missing jury instruction on accomplice testimony and the admission of a jail release document did not amount to plain error.
Cooper v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld Kiresa Cooper's murder conviction in the shooting death of a pregnant woman, rejecting arguments that the evidence was too weak and that her trial lawyer botched dozens of missed objections to a detective's testimony.
In the Matter of Carl Lawrence Collins
The Supreme Court of Georgia suspended attorney Carl Lawrence Collins from practicing law while he appeals his federal tax fraud convictions, accepting his own request for the interim suspension.
In the Matter of Cory Howerton Fleming
The Supreme Court of Georgia accepted the voluntary surrender of the law license of Cory Howerton Fleming, an attorney tied to the Alex Murdaugh insurance settlement scandal, effectively disbarring him for mishandling a client's wrongful death settlement funds.
In the Matter of Tamorra A. Boyd
The Supreme Court of Georgia accepted a petition for voluntary discipline from an Atlanta-area lawyer who let a California mortgage-modification company market her law license, imposing a public reprimand instead of the six-month suspension previously recommended.
In the Matter of W. McCall Calhoun, Jr
The Supreme Court of Georgia suspended attorney W. McCall Calhoun, Jr. from practicing law pending his appeal of federal convictions tied to the January 6, 2021 Capitol breach, rejecting his argument that a bench trial verdict does not count as a conviction under bar rules.
Neason v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed a Fulton County man's murder conviction, ruling that eyewitness testimony, gunshot residue evidence, and his flight from the scene were enough for the jury to find him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
Thomas v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld a Gwinnett County man's felony murder convictions in a fatal DUI-related car crash, rejecting his argument that he should have been sentenced only for the lesser crime of homicide by vehicle.
Jenkins v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia reversed Larry Jenkins's double murder convictions, ruling that his clear request for a lawyer while being booked into jail was a valid invocation of his Miranda rights, even though a formal interrogation had not yet begun.
Regan v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia struck down as applied a felony child molestation sentence, ruling that a 17-year-old defendant should have qualified for a misdemeanor sentence like those convicted of aggravated child molestation against a same-age victim.
