Williams 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 Richmond, rechazando su alegato de legítima defensa, su argumento sobre la declaración de culpabilidad de un cómplice y su reclamo de que una demora de 25 meses antes de su nuevo juicio violó su derecho a un juicio rápido.
4. Finally, Williams argues that his constitutional right to a speedy trial was violated when he was not brought to retrial for 25 months after remittitur of his case to the superior court following the reversal of his convictions by this Court. The trial court determined that Williams’s constitutional speedy-trial right was not violated and denied both a...
Courts examining an alleged denial of the constitutional right to a speedy trial first must consider whether the interval between the defendant’s arrest, indictment, or other formal accusation and the trial is sufficiently long so as to be characterized as presumptively prejudicial. If the delay is long enough to invoke the presumption of prejudice, the...

Davis 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 alegatos de que se violaron sus derechos a un juicio rápido, que se excluyó indebidamente evidencia sobre el amigo de la víctima, y que su abogado fue ineficaz.
2. Davis first contends that he was denied his constitutional right to a speedy trial. In reviewing the trial court’s ruling on this issue, we accept the trial court’s factual findings unless they are clearly erroneous, and we will affirm its ultimate conclusion absent an abuse of discretion. See Burney v. State, 309 Ga. 273, 286 (4) (845 SE2d 625) (2020)....
2 Although this filing may have been intended as a statutory speedy-trial demand, it did not comply with the speedy-trial statute. See OCGA § 17-7-171. That Code section provides that, absent “special permission of the court,” any speedy-trial demand must be filed “at the term of court at which the indictment is found or at the next succeeding regular term...

Redding v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia devolvió por segunda vez un caso de asesinato del condado de Muscogee al tribunal de primera instancia, al determinar que el juez aplicó mal la ley y no ponderó correctamente los factores usados para decidir reclamos de juicio rápido.
1. As we explained in Redding I, [t]he record shows that [Appellant] was arrested on September 12, 2016, one week after the [murder]. [Appellant] was granted a bond on March 2, 2017, but he 1 See Barker v. Wingo, 407 U.S. 514, 530 (92 SCt 2182, 33 LE2d 101) (1972). See also Doggett v. United States, 505 U.S. 647, 652 (112 SCt 2686, 120 LE2d 520) (1992). 2...
apparently was unable to post the bond amount and so remained in jail. On September 28, 2017, [Appellant] filed a “Motion to Dismiss Charge Based on Violation of Constitutional Right to Speedy Trial.” At that point, [Appellant] had not yet been indicted, and he noted in his motion that he had repeatedly asked for his case to be presented to a grand jury and...

Smith v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó la condena por asesinato con delito grave de un hombre del condado de Dougherty por la muerte a golpes de Jerome Walden, rechazando argumentos sobre la acusación formal y múltiples reclamos de asistencia letrada ineficaz contra su abogado de juicio.
(c) Smith next contends that his trial counsel provided ineffective assistance by failing to move for Smith’s acquittal after the State failed to try him on the felony murder charge within the period authorized by the speedy trial statute for capital cases. See OCGA § 17-7-171. Cf. OCGA § 17-7-170 (speedy trial statute for non- 8 To the extent that Smith is...
If more than two regular terms of court are convened and adjourned after the term at which the demand for speedy trial is filed and the defendant is not given a trial, then the defendant shall be absolutely discharged and acquitted of the offense charged in the indictment, provided that at both terms there were juries impaneled and qualified to try the...

Harris 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, dictaminando que el juez de primera instancia negó correctamente una prórroga de último momento y que las decisiones estratégicas de su abogado defensor no constituyeron asistencia ineficaz.
PETERSON, Presiding Justice. Juan Keon Harris was convicted of murder and other crimes committed against Tony Morris.1 On appeal, Harris argues that the trial court should have granted him a continuance to call missing 1 The crimes took place on September 29, 2001. Harris was first indicted by a Fulton County grand jury on January 15, 2002. He was...
“All applications for continuances are addressed to the sound legal discretion of the court[,]” and we review a trial court’s denial of a continuance motion for an abuse of discretion. OCGA § 17-8-22; see also Geiger v. State, 295 Ga. 648, 651 (3) (763 SE2d 453) (2014). None of the alleged missing witnesses had been subpoenaed by the defense, and counsel...

Reed v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó la condena por asesinato de Jaquavious Reed pese a reclamos sobre una demora de una década en la apelación, conferencias en el estrado sin registrar y evidencia faltante, pero ordenó anular su condena por asesinato en la comisión de un delito grave por ser duplicada.
However, Reed’s arguments merely attack the credibility of Wilson and Feggins, and it is well settled that “it is the role of the jury to resolve conflicts in the evidence and to determine the credibility of witnesses, and the resolution of such conflicts adversely to the defendant does not render the evidence insufficient.” Graham v. State, 301 Ga. 675,...
“This Court has recognized that substantial delays experienced during the criminal appellate process implicate due process rights.” Chatman v. Mancill, 280 Ga. 253, 256 (2) (a) (626 SE2d 102) (2006). In assessing such claims, this Court considers four factors: “(1) the length of the delay; (2) the reason for the delay; (3) the defendant’s assertion of his...

Dugar v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó la condena por asesinato en grado de delito grave de Rita Mary Dugar, y rechazó sus alegatos de que los comentarios de un juez en una audiencia de fianza anterior la presionaron a renunciar a un juicio con jurado y de que su abogado fue ineficaz.
COURT: All right. So in any event, you all flesh it out. That’s what you all get paid the big bucks for. At a second bond hearing a month later, after Dugar had been indicted, the attorneys reminded the original trial judge of his earlier statement at the first bond hearing, and the prosecutor provided more information to the court, including further...
At an October 2019 status conference before a senior judge, the prosecutor said that Dugar’s attorney had recently informed the State that he planned to seek a bench trial. The prosecutor asked “for a week or so to make that determination [i.e., whether the State would agree to Dugar’s request for a bench trial] and then get with 3 Dobbs did not testify at...

Hooper v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó la condena por asesinato de Timone Hooper, rechazando los reclamos de que su abogado debió haber solicitado una instrucción al jurado sobre la corroboración de confesiones y que los espectadores fueron excluidos indebidamente durante el interrogatorio a un jurado.
As to the third element, Hooper contends that the instructional error likely affected the outcome of the proceedings, because the trial court’s incomplete instruction “left the jury in the dark” about “the important requirement” that testimony that he made admissions of guilt after the event “had to be corroborated before [that testimony] could establish...

Terrell v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó las condenas relacionadas con asesinato de Frederick Terrell por un tiroteo en Atlanta en 2005, rechazando reclamos sobre demora en la apelación, un juicio nulo, la separación de juicios y asistencia legal ineficaz, pero corrigió un error de sentencia.
1 The crimes occurred on September 5, 2004. In December 2004, a Fulton County grand jury indicted Terrell, along with Kelvin Gilliam, Dwight Parks, and Michael Stinchcomb, for malice murder (Count 1), felony murder predicated on aggravated assault (Count 2), aggravated assault with a deadly weapon (Count 3), aggravated assault against Tamara Ross, D. R., G....
Turning to Terrell’s claim that his due process rights were violated by the inordinate delay in his appeal, the State concedes that at least two of the four factors weigh in Terrell’s favor — the length of delay and the assertion of the right.4 However, the State argues that Terrell cannot show the required prejudice. In assessing prejudice in this case, we...

Alexander v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia dictaminó que un hombre condenado por abusar sexualmente de sus hijastras debe probar que la sala de audiencias cerrada realmente cambió el resultado de su juicio para ganar un reclamo de asistencia letrada ineficaz, no simplemente que fue injusto.
2. The Right to a Public Trial, Structural Error, and Ineffective Assistance of Counsel The Sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution provides that “the accused shall enjoy the right to a . . . public trial[.]” Before excluding the public from any stage of a criminal trial, the party seeking to close the courtroom “must advance an overriding...
Georgia statutory law mandates the partial closure of a courtroom when a person under the age of 16 testifies in a criminal case concerning a sexual offense, although the statute permits certain individuals, including the defendant’s immediate family members, to remain in the courtroom. See OCGA § 17-8-54;5 see also Scott v. State, 306 Ga. 507, 513 (832...

Dougherty v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia dictaminó que un hombre condenado por asesinato con agravante no puede obtener una revisión de fondo de su moción de nuevo juicio, debido a fallos apelativos anteriores que fijaron cuándo su condena se volvió firme. La corte anuló una apelación fuera de tiempo y desestimó su apelación más reciente.
Dougherty will never have an appellate decision on the merits of his motion for a new trial or other matters he could have raised in a direct appeal, solely because his trial attorney refused to sign that first motion for a new trial, in violation of his duties as a member of the bar and an officer of the court. Decisions of this Court have dictated this...

BUCKNER-WEBB v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia dictaminó que la negativa de un juez de primera instancia a permitir que un abogado se retire por un conflicto de interés no puede apelarse de inmediato, y confirmó la desestimación de una apelación presentada por exeducadores de las Escuelas Públicas de Atlanta condenados en el escándalo de manipulación de exámenes.
(b) Application In the present case, the Court of Appeals majority concluded that the interlocutory order here — an order denying counsel’s motion to withdraw based on an alleged conflict of interest — was not immediately appealable under the collateral order doctrine ————————————————————— 9 See, e.g., Duke, 306 Ga. at 174 (1) (holding that the collateral...
If that language were not a clear enough rejection of a federal- style collateral-order doctrine, the statutory structure around OCGA § 5-6-34 (a)’s final-judgment rule is telling, too. That structure tells us in at least two ways that our jurisdictional statutes don’t contemplate that doctrine. First, our statute lists 12 further categories of “judgments...

State v. Burton
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó la decisión de un tribunal de primera instancia de suprimir las declaraciones que un joven de 16 años hizo a la policía tras su arresto por asesinato, al determinar que el Estado no probó que renunció a sus derechos Miranda de forma consciente y voluntaria.
The record thus shows that the trial court reviewed and weighed the evidence presented at the motion-to-suppress hearing, and that it also made factual and credibility determinations in reaching its ultimate conclusion that, considering all of the Riley factors, the State failed to meet its burden of establishing that Burton knowingly and voluntarily waived...
(b) The Trial Court’s Order On November 22, the trial court entered an order granting Burton’s motion in part and suppressing all of the statements Burton made during his custodial interview.6 The trial court first noted that “the issues currently before the Court are whether [Burton] unequivocally invoked his right to silence or waived his 5 Some of the...

PHILLIPS v. JACKSON, JUDGE
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia resolvió que un hombre que impugnaba las restricciones de conducción impuestas como parte de una citación por exceso de velocidad no podía usar una petición de habeas corpus previa al juicio para cuestionar esas restricciones porque todavía tenía otro remedio legal disponible.
PETERSON, Presiding Justice. A judge of the Municipal Court of Atlanta believed that Carey Phillips’s traffic citation gave rise to “quasi-bond” conditions that it could — and did — modify in order to restrict Phillips’s driving privileges. Phillips disagreed, but instead of appealing the municipal court judge’s order, he sought pretrial habeas relief...

Cook v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia eliminó la práctica de décadas de antigüedad que permitía a los condenados pedir directamente al tribunal de primera instancia una apelación fuera de plazo, y resolvió que el recurso de habeas corpus es ahora la única vía adecuada para buscar ese remedio.
Particularly in those sorts of cases, where the only issue is whether counsel failed to file timely, allowing post-conviction proceedings to be resolved by granting a motion for out-of-time appeal in the trial court is much more efficient than requiring a convicted defendant to turn to the much lengthier habeas process. Granting a motion for out-of-time...
Nor is the second entrenchment-related point the dissent makes dispositive: that when our out-of-time appeal precedents are applied, “it often makes a substantial difference,” because when such a motion is granted “it permits an appeal that would otherwise be barred without the years-long delay of habeas.” To be sure, when a trial court grants an...

BARNHILL v. ALFORD
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia dictaminó que una abuela podía seguir solicitando visitas con su nieta incluso después de que la madrastra de la niña la adoptara, y confirmó que el estándar de prueba clara y convincente de la ley de visitas de abuelos es constitucional.
(c) The Trial Court’s Award of Grandparent Visitation Rights to Alford under OCGA § 19-7-3 (c) (1) The Barnhills also contend on appeal that, notwithstanding the unconstitutionality of OCGA § 19-7-3 (c) (1), the trial court abused its discretion by concluding that Alford met her burden under OCGA § 19-7-3 (c) (1). In support of this contention, the...
constitutional, and that is the standard the trial court applied here. Thus, there was no harm in the trial court’s application of OCGA § 19-7-3 (c) (1) in this case. “The decision to grant or deny a grandparent’s petition for visitation is within the discretion of the trial court, and we will affirm the court’s decision absent an abuse of that discretion.”...

Rouzan v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia anuló una orden del tribunal de primera instancia que había concedido a un hombre del condado de Richmond una apelación fuera de tiempo, sosteniendo que los tribunales de primera instancia no tienen autoridad para decidir este tipo de mociones tras el fallo reciente de la corte en Cook v. State.
the merits . . . should be vacated if direct review of the case remains pending or if the case is otherwise not final.” Id. at ___ (4). Accordingly, the trial court’s June 21, 2021 order granting Rouzan’s motion for out-of-time appeal is vacated, and this case is remanded for the entry of an order dismissing Rouzan’s motion. Rouzan is advised that any...

Jordan v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó la condena de Orlando Jordan por asesinato con malicia en la muerte a tiros de un vecino, dictaminando que la evidencia fue suficiente y que el tribunal de primera instancia admitió correctamente el testimonio sobre una motocicleta todoterreno robada y un robo relacionado.
313 Ga. 841 FINAL COPY S22A0171. JORDAN v. THE STATE.
Finally, the State presented evidence that, four months prior to the murder, a police officer’s apartment was burglarized wherein the intruders stole an AK-47 and multiple containers of ammunition, including nine Wolf brand 7.62-caliber cartridges. The parties further stipulated that Jordan was a convicted felon at the time of Wiggins’ murder. Jordan argues...

Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó la condena por asesinato con malicia de Vincent Ellington en un tiroteo en Atlanta, rechazando sus alegatos de que la evidencia era insuficiente y que se limitó indebidamente su contrainterrogatorio de una testigo, pero devolvió el caso para corregir un error de sentencia.
