State v. COOK (Six Cases)
The Supreme Court of Georgia ruled that Fulton County jailers charged in an inmate's death are not 'peace officers' entitled to special pre-indictment notice, because guarding inmates inside a jail is not the same as maintaining public peace in the community.
Steele v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld Donald Steele's felony murder conviction in the stabbing death of Kevin McGruder, but ruled his separate aggravated assault conviction must be erased because it was based on the same act.
Marshall v. Lundy
The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed a lower court's judgment in a dispute between two individuals without issuing a written explanation, using a court rule that allows affirmance without opinion.
Adams v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld Leon Adams's murder conviction in a Fulton County drive-by shooting, rejecting his claims that the evidence was too thin and that shared defense counsel with his brother created a disabling conflict of interest.
Carter v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed the dismissal of a man's motion to withdraw his guilty plea to murder, ruling the trial court had lost jurisdiction to allow withdrawal and that his sentence was not void.
Ford Motor Company v. Cosper
The Supreme Court of Georgia ruled that reckless conduct alone, separate from willful or wanton conduct, can excuse a product-liability negligence claim from Georgia's ten-year statute of repose, and defined what counts as reckless.
Funvestment Group, LLC v. Crittenden
The Supreme Court of Georgia ruled that money a business earns by leasing coin-operated amusement machines like arcade games is exempt from Georgia sales and use tax, just like money played directly into those machines.
Hamilton v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld Nuwrulhaqq Hamilton's felony murder conviction, ruling that surveillance footage and testimony showed he was more than a bystander and that missing a good-character jury instruction did not affect the trial's outcome.
In THE MATTER OF ROBERT MALLORY CRAWFORD (Two Cases)
The Supreme Court of Georgia suspended a former superior court judge from practicing law for three years after finding he took money from a court registry he was not entitled to and lied about it, rejecting the harsher sanction of disbarment recommended by the disciplinary special master.
Kennebrew v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld Phillip Kennebrew's murder conviction from his second trial, ruling that a dead witness's testimony from his first trial was properly admitted and that any errors in other hearsay rulings were harmless.
Roberts v. Cuthpert
The Supreme Court of Georgia ruled that a man who successfully sued for a weapons carry license can pursue recovery of his attorney fees from the probate judge who denied him, because Georgia law waives sovereign immunity for such claims.
Salvesen v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld a Richmond County man's murder conviction, ruling that gruesome crime scene and autopsy photos were properly admitted and that the trial judge was not required to repeat manslaughter instructions the jury never asked about.
WISE BUSINESS FORMS INCORPORATED v. FORSYTH COUNTY
The Supreme Court of Georgia revived a Forsyth County printing company's lawsuit over a sinkhole caused by decades-old road drainage work, ruling that the Court of Appeals wrongly assumed all the harm was obvious back in 2000.
LYNN B. GIVENS v. CORAL HOSPITALITY-GA, LLC
The Supreme Court of Georgia granted the parties' joint request to withdraw this premises-liability appeal after they settled, ending the case without a ruling on the merits.
Green v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld Tarus Malike Green's felony murder conviction in a Chatham County shooting, rejecting his claims about the evidence, jury access to cell phone records, and a witness's recorded statement.
In the Matter of Nevada Michael Tuggle
The Supreme Court of Georgia rejected a one-month suspension recommended for a Georgia lawyer who abandoned two clients, finding the discipline far too lenient given the severity of his misconduct, and sent the case back for more fact-finding before a harsher sanction is decided.
In the Matter of Samuel Elias Skelton
The Supreme Court of Georgia approved Samuel Elias Skelton's application to be certified as fit to practice law again, after he surrendered his law license in 2017 following a guilty plea for theft tied to addiction and mental health struggles.
Kuhlman v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia ruled that a man convicted of federal health care fraud cannot get his gun rights restored under a narrow Georgia statute, but that Georgia's sovereign immunity does not block his lawsuit and his constitutional claims must still be considered by the trial court.
MOTORSPORTS OF CONYERS, LLC v. BURBACH
The Supreme Court of Georgia ruled that before a court can honor a contract's choice of another state's law to decide whether a non-compete clause is enforceable, it must first check whether that clause is reasonable under Georgia's own restrictive-covenants law.
Ruthenberg v. State
The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld a Cobb County man's murder conviction, ruling he did not properly object at trial to evidence of his prior battery convictions and could not show the evidence changed the outcome given overwhelming proof of his guilt.
