Ealey v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó las condenas por asesinato con premeditación de Deanthony Ealey por las muertes de dos personas por disparos en el estacionamiento de un Walmart, rechazando impugnaciones a la evidencia, el testimonio sobre actos previos, la prueba de referencia y el desempeño de su abogado de juicio.
At trial, Detective Clint Patton of the Fayette County Sheriff’s Office was qualified as an expert in forensic cell phone analysis, and he testified that he conducted a search of Woods’s cell phone pursuant to a search warrant. Woods’s cell phone records demonstrated that, at around 12:00 p.m. on January 13, Woods’s phone received a phone call lasting “a...
2. Ealey next contends that the trial court erred by admitting other-acts evidence against him at trial under OCGA § 24-4-404(b) (“Rule 404(b)”). At trial, after giving limiting instructions to the jury, the trial court allowed the State to introduce evidence of two prior incidents involving Ealey for purposes of showing — with respect to both of the...

Tucker v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó la condena por asesinato de Deangelo Tucker por un tiroteo relacionado con pandillas, rechazando impugnaciones a las pruebas y a las instrucciones al jurado, pero devolvió el caso para corregir un error en la sentencia.
Shameka recanted her story at trial, testifying that she “made mistakes and lied on [her] baby daddy.” She testified that she received a call from Shaquitta on November 16, 2014, saying that “her stepson got killed.” Shameka said that she then texted her “baby daddy,” Tucker, who “was going to find out who — what happened for [her] and that [they] didn’t...
Tucker said that he only had one cell phone — the LG — at the time and took it with him to the studio. No other evidence was presented as to who, if anyone, was in possession of the LG phone at the time, and Tucker testified that he often let others use his cell phone. The shooting occurred around 6:50 p.m. Cell phone tower information placed Tucker’s LG...

Craft v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó la condena por asesinato de un adolescente del condado de DeKalb, al dictaminar que no se demostró que la falta de una instrucción al jurado sobre defensa de la habitación hubiera cambiado el resultado dada la abrumadora evidencia de culpabilidad.
1. The evidence at trial showed as follows. On the morning of September 9, 2019, Craft, who was 17 years old, was getting ready for school when he texted a friend, 20-year-old Khalil Rogers, to see if Rogers was still interested in buying Craft’s Springfield XD .45- caliber pistol. Rogers texted back that he was, drove to Craft’s house, and picked up Craft....

McIver v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó la condena por asesinato de Benjamin McIver en un homicidio en el condado de Chatham, pero revocó su condena por robo a mano armada porque la evidencia mostró que el arma se usó solo después de que ya se había tomado la tarjeta de débito de la víctima.
The evidence presented at trial showed that, on April 16, 2020, McIver and co-indictee Antavius Wilcox, who was not tried with McIver, bound Smith with computer cords, kidnapped him in his vehicle, took and used his debit card, and executed him in a wooded area past the end of Pate Street, a dead-end street in Chatham County. Much of the evidence, as...
Cell phone data also showed that Wilcox spoke with McIver at least seven times between 8:40 a.m. and 11:52 a.m., with a few of their calls lasting longer than ten minutes. At 11:29 a.m., McIver texted Wilcox “Savannah Gardens off Pennsylvania Avenue” and then “Kall when you in route so I can B050.” At McIver’s trial, the State’s gang expert testified that...

EVANS v. THE STATE (Two Cases)
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó las condenas por asesinato, robo a mano armada y delitos de pandillas de dos adolescentes del condado de Gwinnett involucrados en un robo que terminó en homicidio, pero ordenó anular una condena de Khalil Miller porque dos cargos debieron combinarse.
Although Evans argues that the evidence obtained from his cell phone caused him prejudice for three reasons, he has failed to show a reasonable probability of a different result if that evidence had been suppressed. First, Evans contends that “[t]he only evidence that [he] was in a gang came from his phone (photos, texts, and videos) and from otherwise...
Because the trial evidence strongly supported Evans’s guilty verdicts, and because Evans has not established that evidence obtained from his cell phone played any significant role in producing the jury’s verdict, Evans has not shown a reasonable probability that the result of his trial would have been different if trial counsel had filed a successful motion...

Arnold 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 Rockdale, rechazando los argumentos de que las pruebas eran insuficientes, que el testimonio de su experto en huellas dactilares fue admitido indebidamente y que sus abogados de juicio fueron ineficaces.
While the evidence in this case was circumstantial, “circumstantial evidence alone can be constitutionally sufficient,” Hooks, 318 Ga. at 852 (2) (a), and the evidence here was sufficient as a matter of constitutional due process to authorize the jury to find Arnold guilty of Goolsby’s murder and the other offenses with which he was charged. See Ridley, 315...
————————————————————— 16 Arnold did not give the investigators much detail about this man other than to describe him as “heavyset” and “bald.” Arnold said he did not know the man or his name. 17 Arnold said that Ruley was not surprised Goolsby had kicked him out and thought Goolsby wanted “to have sex” with Arnold. Circle, he washed all his clothes, and his...

Burks v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó la condena por asesinato en la comisión de un delito grave de Rufus Burks por una invasión de hogar en Columbus que dejó tres muertos, rechazando sus alegatos sobre pruebas débiles, fotografías de autopsia, instrucciones al jurado, publicidad previa al juicio y composición del jurado.
Gibson testified to the following. When the group arrived at the house, they walked up the driveway, and Gibson and Burks followed 3 Phone records also showed that, on the night of January 3, Burks’ cell phone had several incoming and outgoing phone calls with his father’s cell phone between 9:13 p.m. and 11:35 p.m. Tapley through the gate to the backyard...
A cell phone forensics analyst with the Columbus Police Department testified that Facebook messages extracted from Burks’s phone pursuant to a search warrant revealed a conversation between Burks’s account and another person that took place on January 4, 2016, where Burks asked if the person had a power cord for a PlayStation 4, and when the person replied...

Crawford v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó la condena por asesinato de Carl Crawford por disparar a la exnovia de su compañero de cuarto, y determinó que varios testimonios en disputa fueron admitidos correctamente o no afectaron el resultado del juicio.
whom she had hair appointments scheduled the next day, and while McFadden was at the apartment, she and Crawford got into a heated argument. On the morning of November 17, McFadden left the apartment, and McFadden’s cell phone records show that, later that evening, several text messages were exchanged between McFadden’s cell phone and Crawford’s cell phone....
Smith testified that he arrived at Crawford’s apartment complex between 12:45 and 1:00 a.m., and he texted McFadden’s cell phone to let her know he was there. McFadden’s cell phone texted back and asked him “to come downstairs” to the apartment and “help her with her bags.” According to Smith, as he “started to go downstairs” to Crawford’s apartment, he...

Wilson v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia revocó la condena por asesinato de Andrew Wilson, al determinar que el tribunal de primera instancia no debió permitir que el jurado escuchara sobre un robo a mano armada de 2011 porque era demasiado genérico para probar el motivo o un plan criminal común.
In 2012, the lead investigator in Harris’s murder case filed motions seeking court orders requiring AT&T and Metro PCS to disclose Wilson’s phone records, including cell phone location data. The trial court issued the orders under the federal Stored Communications Act (“SCA”). See 18 USC § 2703 (c) (1) (B) & (d).21 21 At the time Wilson’s cell phone records...

Porter 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 Bulloch, al determinar que su confesión a un amigo junto con pruebas de teléfono celular y ubicación fueron suficientes para que un jurado lo condenara, y que el juez no necesitaba dar una instrucción específica sobre la prueba de identidad.
Cell phone records showed that Porter’s cell phone called 911 at 5:57 a.m. on October 8. That call lasted six seconds and was disconnected before it was connected to a 911 operator. The cell tower used for that call was located near Miles’s house. At trial, Detective Ben Purvis testified about a map created based on records showing which cell phone towers...
Forensic evidence also highlighted the troubled nature of Porter and Miles’s relationship. In the days leading up to the October 8 murder, Porter and Miles frequently texted each other. At 6:15 p.m. on Friday, October 6, Porter texted Miles, saying “U hate me.” Miles responded that Porter was “full of sh*t.” Later that night, Porter texted Miles that she...

Floyd 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 del condado de Fulton, rechazando los argumentos de que la evidencia era demasiado débil y de que su abogado y el juez de primera instancia cometieron errores críticos.
Thomas testified that the men in the back seat told Thomas and Turner that they would give them directions. According to Thomas, once they had driven for some time, the men in the back seat said that the destination was nearby and that Turner could “pull off” on the road. Once Turner parked, Thomas testified, he and Turner “both felt guns come up to [their]...
First responders arrived at the scene, and Turner was taken to a hospital but died the next morning. A medical examiner testified that Turner’s cause of death was a gunshot wound to the abdomen. The medical examiner retrieved a projectile from Turner’s body, which a firearms examiner identified at trial as a “.380 metal jacket bullet.” The items that Turner...

Moss v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó la condena por asesinato de un hombre en la muerte a tiros de su novia, y rechazó los reclamos de que las instrucciones al jurado fueron erróneas, de que debió declararse un juicio nulo, y de que su abogado de juicio fue ineficaz.
Those claims fail. Moss did not give a confession, so there was no need for a confession-corroboration jury instruction. Moss’s mo- tion for a mistrial was not preserved for appellate review because he did not make it contemporaneously. Any error in admitting the ex- pert’s testimony about domestic violence was harmless given the non-specific nature of the...
At 10:11 p.m., a neighbor called 911. Responding officers found a black car that had rolled into a parked truck. Slumped in the driver’s seat of the black car was Smith, who had been shot multiple times at close range, and was pronounced dead at the scene. Two small children, aged about three and one, were sleeping in the back seat. The children were taken...

Jones v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia dictaminó que la policía podía usar una orden de 'geofence' para obtener datos de ubicación anonimizados de Google cerca de la escena de un asesinato en Sandy Springs, confirmando la técnica frente a impugnaciones basadas en la Cuarta Enmienda.
Applying this deferential standard of review, the magistrate here had a substantial basis for concluding that the warrants here were supported by probable cause. Start with the first search warrant. Here is what the magis- trate had in front of him: The affidavit submitted with the applica- tion for the first warrant explained that the victim was found dead...
This information, together with reasonable inferences and common sense, gave the magistrate a substantial basis for finding probable cause to issue the first warrant. Surveillance video showed that the person suspected of murdering the victim at her home that night was carrying a cell phone that was likely powered on around the time of the murder. And given...

Momon v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó la condena por asesinato de Tarell Momon, rechazando sus alegaciones de que la falta de objeción de su abogado de juicio a las pruebas de pandillas y teléfono equivalió a asistencia ineficaz.
Officers soon obtained Antoinette’s cell phone records and identified two numbers that she repeatedly contacted around the time of the murder. One number belonged to Antoinette’s daughter Katrina Ledford, who was later indicted as a party to Riley’s murder. The other number—the 678 number from which Antoinette received the text message shortly after the...
In addition to Antoinette’s and Ledford’s numbers, Momon’s phone repeatedly contacted two other phone numbers, one with a 706 area code and the other with an 803 area code. Before the murder, Momon’s phone texted Riley’s name and street address to the 803 number. And around the time of the murder, Momon’s phone repeatedly called the 706 number, which pinged...

Arnsdorff 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 Effingham, al determinar que su ocultamiento, sus comunicaciones y sus acciones antes y después del tiroteo fueron suficiente evidencia de que compartía la intención de matar del tirador.
At first, Arnsdorff told investigators that he did not have “firsthand knowledge of what had happened to [Wells].” Arnsdorff’s account “changed, however, as the interview continued.” He said Pinholster told him he knew where Wells was and “ordered” Arnsdorff to lie down in the back seat of the truck as Pinholster went looking for Wells. Pinholster then...
The records showed that Wells’s phone called Pinholster’s phone at 5:35 a.m. on January 9, 2017, and the call lasted a little over 58 minutes. Just after 6:30 that morning (so right after the call between Pinholster’s phone and Wells’s phone ended), Pinholster’s phone placed a call to Arnsdorff’s phone then sent a text to Arnsdorff’s phone saying, “Bubba,...

Routh v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó las condenas por asesinato en el curso de un delito grave de un hombre que disparó a dos empleados de una tienda de conveniencia, dictaminando que el juez de primera instancia actuó correctamente al limitar el contrainterrogatorio del detective a cargo.
The store workers called the police. When officers arrived, they interviewed the workers and viewed footage of the shooting captured by a surveillance camera outside the store.

Saunders 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 Liberty, y rechazó los reclamos de que su abogado de juicio fue constitucionalmente deficiente y de que el juez de primera instancia debió haber concedido un nuevo juicio con base en el peso de la evidencia.
Investigators recovered Jones’s cell phone from the driver’s seat of the truck. A subsequent search of that phone established that, between January 26 and 29, 2018, multiple calls were placed from or received by Jones’s cell phone from the same phone number—later identified as Saunders’s cell phone number— including nine calls on January 29. The last phone...

Bowdery v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó la condena por asesinato de Ryan Bowdery en un tiroteo de pandillas en el condado de Fulton, y determinó que la declaración extrajudicial de un cómplice estaba suficientemente respaldada por otras pruebas y que el tribunal de primera instancia manejó adecuadamente un argumento de cierre en disputa.
Phone records for Washington, Wallace, and Barber were 4 Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436 (86 SCt 1602, 16 LE2d 694) (1966). admitted into evidence. The cell-site location information (“CSLI”) from Washington’s cell phone records showed that on the day before the shooting at about 11:00 p.m., her cell phone accessed a tower near her home. Between 2:16 a.m....
Here, cell-phone record evidence, evidence about Bowdery’s participation in the same gang as Washington and Wallace, testimony about the gang-related motive for the shooting, and Bowdery’s own statements provided at least slight corroboration of Washington’s out-of-court statement identifying Bowdery as a participant in the crimes. Specifically, Bowdery...

Allen 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, al resolver que el jurado podía rechazar su alegato de legítima defensa y que un cargo separado de agresión no tenía que fusionarse con el cargo de asesinato.
When officers arrived, they located a body, later identified as 72-year-old Emereje, lying on the street in a cul-de-sac of the apartment complex buildings. Officers also located a neck pillow, lottery tickets, a beanie cap, and broken glass on the ground near Emereje’s body. Crime scene investigators recovered one .380- caliber shell casing from the...
Cell phone records from Allen’s phone showed that his phone left his residence around 2:20 a.m. on the morning of the shooting and arrived in a neighborhood just south of downtown Atlanta around 3:56 a.m. Cell phone records from Emereje’s phone showed that his phone was in the area where video surveillance had shown that a man entered his taxi across the...

State v. Brantley
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia revocó una orden del tribunal de primera instancia que había impedido a los fiscales usar las llamadas telefónicas grabadas de la cárcel de un acusado de asesinato, dictaminando que él no tenía derecho a la privacidad en esas llamadas y que no ocurrió ninguna violación de la igualdad de protección.
The trial court order in this case excluded the jail phone calls on the basis that the District Attorney’s Office unlawfully “acqui[red]” and “access[ed]” — i.e., obtained — those calls. Thus, the State was permitted to appeal under paragraph (a) (4). See Anderson v. State, 267 Ga. 116, 116-117 (1) (475 SE2d 629) (1996) (holding that the State’s appeal of...
violated the Fourth Amendment.2 In Preston v. State, 282 Ga. 210 (647 SE2d 260) (2007), we unequivocally held that there is no reasonable expectation of privacy in a jail phone call (at least when the call was not with counsel). Id. at 214 (4) (considering calls with the defendant’s mother). See also Keller v. State, 308 Ga. 492, 497 (2) (b) (842 SE2d 22)...
