BARROW v. RAFFENSPERGER (Two Cases)
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia dictaminó que el secretario de Estado Brad Raffensperger canceló correctamente la elección de 2020 para el puesto del magistrado Keith Blackwell, porque la renuncia aceptada de Blackwell garantiza una vacante que eliminará el período para el cual los votantes elegirían a alguien.
(b) Beskin’s case is not moot. At the hearing held by the trial court, the Secretary argued that Beskin’s claims were moot because she had qualified as a candidate in the May 19 election for Justice Bethel’s office and thus had availed herself of an adequate alternative remedy to the mandamus relief that she was requesting. In response, Beskin asserted that...
In Beskin’s case, however, we need not decide whether her qualifying for the election for Justice Bethel’s office constituted an adequate alternative remedy to her qualifying for the election for Justice Blackwell’s office, or whether having qualified for the election for Justice Bethel’s office, OCGA § 21-2-136 would preclude her from withdrawing her...

In the Matter of Charles M. Dalziel, Jr
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia ordenó una suspensión de seis meses para el abogado Charles M. Dalziel Jr. por revelar información confidencial de un cliente y presentar una demanda infundada contra un bufete de abogados para intentar cobrar sus honorarios.
(d) Recommended Discipline The Special Master then determined that because the max- imum sanction for a Rule 3.1 violation is a public reprimand, the focus of his disciplinary recommendation was Dalziel’s violation of Rule 1.6(a), and concluded that Dalziel should be suspended for no less than six months. In reaching this conclusion, the Special Master...

McIver v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia revocó la condena por asesinato en la muerte a tiros de la esposa de Tex McIver, dictaminando que el juez de primera instancia debió permitir que el jurado considerara un cargo menor de homicidio involuntario como delito menor.
A review of selected cases on involuntary manslaughter provides some guidance for determining whether there is slight evidence of the commission of a lawful act in an unlawful manner to support an instruction on OCGA § 16-5-3 (b). For example, if the uncontradicted evidence shows that the defendant was not in lawful possession of the weapon that caused the...
of recklessness in their analysis of unlawful manner involuntary manslaughter. For example, in Drake v. State, 221 Ga. 347 (144 SE2d 519) (1965), the appellant shot and killed the victim in the woods of north Georgia. The appellant told the investigating officers that he was deer hunting but shot at what he thought was a fox in the mist or fog. While the...

Sneed v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó la condena por asesinato de Calvin Sneed por disparar a Gregory Jones, rechazando alegatos de que su abogado de juicio fue ineficaz, pero devolvió el caso para corregir errores de sentencia en dos cargos por armas de fuego.
defense that he shot and killed Jones in self-defense. Sneed ar- gues that his trial counsel’s deficient performance in these re- spects prejudiced the outcome of Sneed’s case. These arguments are unavailing. To prevail on a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel, a defendant generally must show that coun- sel’s performance was deficient and that the...

In the Matter of Willie George Davis, Jr
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia rechazó una suspensión propuesta de 18 meses para un abogado que manejó mal el patrimonio de su hermana y el dinero de su sobrino huérfano, al considerar que el castigo era demasiado débil dado cuánto tiempo podría mantenerlo efectivamente en el limbo.
Among other things, the Special Master concluded that Davis did not maintain and had not provided any records of how much of his nephew’s funds he spent for the benefit of his nephew, such that the record showed only that the money was unaccounted for, not necessarily that Davis converted it and used it for his own purposes; and that, indeed, the State Bar...

Srm Group, Inc. v. Travelers Property Casualty Company of America
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia resolvió que una empresa demandada en un tribunal puede solicitar honorarios de abogado por litigio de mala fe incluso cuando su contrademanda era obligatoria por ley, no solo cuando era opcional.
1. Background. The facts, as set forth by the Court of Appeals, are as follows: Travelers Property Casualty Company of America (“Travelers”) filed suit against SRM Group, Inc. (“SRM”), seeking to recover unpaid premiums due under a workers’ compensation insurance policy. In response, SRM asserted counterclaims against Travelers for breach of contract,...
4. With Byers set aside, and given our determination in Division 2, it is clear that SRM was entitled to seek attorney fees under OCGA § 13-6-11, as it asserted independent claims for breach 6 We also disapprove of Maree v. ROMAR Joint Venture, 329 Ga. App. 282, 297 (6) (d) n.18 (763 SE2d 899) (2014); and Murtagh v. Emory Univ., 321 Ga. App. 411, 417 (3)...

Jones v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó la condena por asesinato de un hombre por un tiroteo fatal en 2015 en Augusta, dictaminando que un casquillo de escopeta hallado en su patio trasero fue incautado legalmente mientras oficiales ejecutaban una orden de arresto válida.
Nevertheless, the undisputed evidence also demonstrates that, at the time the officers went to execute the arrest warrant, they did not have a search warrant for Appellant’s residence. “The Fourth Amendment [to the United States Constitution] proscribes all unreasonable searches and seizures, and searches conducted without prior judicial approval are per se...

In THE MATTER OF ESTON WILLIAM HOOD, JR. (Two Cases)
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia suspendió al abogado Eston William Hood, Jr. por dos años, rechazando una suspensión recomendada de un año por considerarla demasiado indulgente dado que admitió haber hecho declaraciones falsas al abogado contrario, al personal del tribunal y al propio Colegio de Abogados del Estado.
By virtue of his admission that he violated Rule 8.1 (a) in both SDBD Nos. 7407 and 7470, Hood has admitted that he knowingly made false statements to the Bar in his responses to two separate disciplinary matters. And, in addition, he admitted to violating Rule 8.4 (a) (4), which also involves engaging in professional conduct involving dishonesty, deceit,...

In the Matter of Daniel Kirkland McCall
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia rechazó la propuesta de suspensión de seis meses de un abogado por descuidar a tres clientes, dictaminando que sus alegatos atenuantes, un reembolso no pagado y las condiciones de reincorporación propuestas no respaldaban aceptar el acuerdo tal como se ofrecía.
McCall states that while he recognizes the seriousness of this matter and takes full responsibility for his actions and inactions, he believes that a six-month suspension, nunc pro tunc to May 13, 2019, is appropriate here where all of the conduct in the Bar complaints occurred during the time in which he was in the midst of a psychotic episode and was...

Reese v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó la condena por asesinato de un hombre del condado de Fulton, rechazando sus reclamos de que el juez de primera instancia debió instruir al jurado sobre legítima defensa y sobre el testimonio de un cómplice, y de que su abogado defensor fue ineficaz.
“A jury instruction on the need for accomplice corroboration should be given if there is slight evidence to support the charge.” Stripling v. State, 304 Ga. 131, 136 (816 SE2d 663) (2018) (citation and punctuation omitted). An accomplice is someone who “shared a common criminal intent to commit the crimes in question with the actual perpetrators.” Ash v....

WS CE RESORT OWNER, LLC v. HOLLAND
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia dictaminó que los propietarios de viviendas no pueden reclamar una servidumbre en un campo de golf cercano solo porque se etiquetó como 'campo de golf' en un plano de subdivisión y ellos compraron lotes haciendo referencia a ese plano.
These features share two related things in common. First, there is simply a well-settled understanding, reflected in more than a century of our decisions, that when these basic features are designated on a subdivision plat, there is ordinarily no reason to doubt that they are included as part of the unified plan for the subdivision and meant for the lot...

Hill v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó la condena por asesinato con malicia de un hombre del condado de Newton por estrangular a su novia, rechazando sus impugnaciones a las pruebas, el manejo por el tribunal de primera instancia de las mociones de nulidad del juicio y la selección del jurado, y el desempeño de su abogado.
(b) On appeal, Hill argues that the trial court abused its discretion in denying each motion for mistrial, contending that each piece of testimony discussed above, individually and when viewed collectively, deprived him of a fair trial. “Whether to grant a motion for mistrial is within the trial court’s sound discretion, and the trial court’s exercise of...
9 Although, as noted above, trial counsel did not move to strike six of the jurors about which Hill complains in Division 4, Hill argues only that counsel provided ineffective assistance by failing to move to strike five of those jurors; he does not include one of the jurors in this ineffective-assistance claim. so patently unreasonable that no competent...

In the Matter of Christopher Ryan Breault
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia suspendió al abogado Christopher Ryan Breault por seis meses tras determinar que reveló repetidamente información confidencial de sus clientes y se negó a dejar de representarlos después de ser despedido.
In assessing the Special Master’s recommendation of a one- year suspension, we note that this Court has not decided many disciplinary matters concerning the improper and intentional disclosure of personal client information in violation of Rule 1.6 (a). However, as detailed by the Special Master, this violation was present in Skinner, where this Court...

STATE OF GEORGIA v. SISTERSONG WOMEN OF COLOR REPRODUCTIVE JUSTICE COLLECTIVE
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia dictaminó que la prohibición del aborto a las seis semanas en Georgia no puede anularse por haber sido inconstitucional al momento de su aprobación solo porque entraba en conflicto con Roe v. Wade, decisión que la Corte Suprema de los Estados Unidos revocó después en Dobbs.
ELLINGTON, Justice, dissenting. 1. The trial court correctly granted in part the plaintiffs’ motion for judgment on the pleadings on the basis that Section 4 and Section 11 of the Living Infants Fairness and Equality Act, Ga. L. 2019, p. 711, Act No. 234 (HB 481) (“the 2019 Act”) were void on the date enacted and can never be enforced, despite the...

In the Matter of Robert David Arkin
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia impuso una suspensión de tres años al abogado del área de Atlanta Robert David Arkin por manejar mal los casos y los fondos en fideicomiso de cinco clientes, y rechazó su solicitud de una suspensión más corta de seis meses.
(d) ABA Standards Looking to the American Bar Association’s Standards for Imposing Lawyer Sanctions for guidance in determining the appropriate level of discipline, see In the Matter of Breault, 318 Ga. 127, 136 (2024), the Special Master found that Arkin had a duty to his clients to consult and communicate with them and to perform the work for which he was...
Next, with regard to the third condition, we clarify that Arkin must obtain a certificate of fitness to practice law from a licensed psychologist or psychiatrist as a condition precedent to his reinstatement. See, e.g., In the Matter of Moore, 300 Ga. 407, 409 (2016) (conditioning reinstatement “upon [lawyer] providing a detailed, written evaluation by a...

MAYNARD v. SNAPCHAT, INC
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia dictaminó que a la creadora de Snapchat se le puede demandar por diseñar negligentemente su Filtro de Velocidad, rechazando la idea de que un fabricante nunca tiene un deber de seguridad cuando un tercero usa mal un producto de manera intencional o ilegal.
5. Snap and its amici curiae argue that, to the extent that our decisional law does not recognize an exception to a manufacturer’s design duty in every case of intentional, tortious product misuse, Georgia law would be an outlier among American jurisdictions, imposing a significantly greater scope of liability on manufacturers for design defects. We...

Dillard v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó las condenas por asesinato y robo a mano armada de un hombre que disparó y mató a un joven de 15 años durante una venta de marihuana fingida, rechazando sus argumentos de que la evidencia en el juicio era demasiado débil.
Appellant contends that Idris was his accomplice in a drug transaction, pointing to evidence that Gerena and Idris agreed to sell Appellant marijuana and that Idris accompanied Gerena to the convenience store to complete the sale.
