Palmer v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó las condenas por asesinato de Willie Williams Palmer de su cuarto juicio, rechazando sus reclamos de que se violaron sus derechos a un juicio rápido y que el tribunal de primera instancia excluyó indebidamente pruebas que señalaban a otros posibles sospechosos.
2. Appellant contends that the trial court erred in rejecting his claim that the State violated his Sixth Amendment right to a speedy trial. We disagree. The Sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution provides that “[i]n all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy . . . trial.” Sixth Amendment speedy trial claims are...
Application of the Barker-Doggett balancing test to particular cases is committed to the sound discretion of the trial courts. See Heard v. State, 295 Ga. 559, 563 (761 SE2d 314) (2014). Thus, on appeal from a ruling on a speedy trial claim, we accept the trial court’s factual findings unless they are clearly erroneous, and we review the trial court’s...

Redding v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): Por tercera vez, la Corte Suprema de Georgia devolvió el caso de asesinato de Merrick Redding a un tribunal de primera instancia del condado de Muscogee, al fallar que el juez volvió a aplicar mal la prueba legal para decidir si se violaron los derechos de Redding a un juicio rápido.
(c) The assertion of the right to a speedy trial. The trial court weighed the assertion-of-right factor neutrally and did not abuse its discretion in doing so. We have explained that this factor asks whether the defendant asserted the right to a speedy trial in due course. This factor focuses on the timing, form, and vigor of the accused’s demands to be...
Although the trial court again made an erroneous factual finding that Redding requested trial delays, the trial court correctly laid out the other facts and reasons behind the one-year delay in filing the speedy-trial motion and based its analysis in large part on those findings. It is undisputed that Redding first raised the speedy- trial issue one year...

Redding v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó por cuarta y última vez la condena de Merrick Redding por asesinato en grado de delito grave, al determinar que no se violaron sus derechos a un juicio rápido y que cualquier error probatorio en el juicio fue inofensivo.
LAGRUA, Justice. Following a 2018 jury trial, Appellant Merrick Redding was found guilty of felony murder and aggravated assault in connection with the death of Joseph Davis. This is Redding’s fourth appeal to this Court. In his first three appeals, we vacated the trial court’s judgment and remanded for the trial court to apply the correct facts and legal...
Redding for malice murder, felony murder, and aggravated assault with a “closed fist.” He was reindicted on the same charges on May 22, 2018. At a trial from October 24 to November 5, 2018, the jury found Redding not guilty of malice murder but guilty of the remaining counts. The trial court orally denied the speedy-trial motion at the pretrial conference...

McCullum v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó las condenas de Samuel Earl McCullum por la violación y el asesinato en 1998 de Monica Blackwell y la violación de otra mujer en 1999, rechazando sus argumentos de que la evidencia era insuficiente y que la demora previa al juicio y la acumulación de cargos violaron sus derechos.
(a) The Length of the Delay As stated above, we agree with the trial court that the ten-plus- year delay between McCullum’s indictment and trial for C. C.’s rape was presumptively prejudicial. See Goins, 306 Ga. at 57 (2) (b). The trial court found that McCullum had been incarcerated out of state for eight of the ten-plus years that comprised the delay,...
(b) The Reasons for the Delay The trial court found that from 2007 to 2009, McCullum was incarcerated in North Carolina and Kentucky, so his incarceration during that period was not attributable to the pending rape charge in Georgia. From 2009 to 2011, the trial court found, McCullum was incarcerated in Georgia while awaiting trial for C. C.’s rape but, at...

Johnson v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó las condenas por asesinato de un hombre del condado de Chatham, al resolver que un plazo de la ley estatal sobre juicio rápido no anula ni bloquea un reclamo separado bajo el derecho federal a un juicio rápido de la Sexta Enmienda.
After the verdict was read but before sentencing, Johnson asked to be appointed counsel to represent him at sentencing and on appeal; this request dismissing an untimely statutory demand for a speedy trial filed by his former counsel rather than considering whether his right to a speedy trial guaranteed by the Sixth Amendment to the United States...
2 Johnson does not challenge the trial court’s conclusion that the statu- tory demand was untimely. conflicts with the Sixth Amendment’s right to a speedy trial, and so the trial court should have considered whether his Sixth Amend- ment speedy trial right was violated instead of dismissing his stat- utory demand.

POWELL v. THE STATE (Two Cases)
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia revocó el camino hacia condenas de dos exfuncionarios policiales del condado de Glynn, al dictaminar que su acusación por violación de juramento de cargo no describía en realidad una violación de Brady y, por lo tanto, no podía sobrevivir a una excepción general.
In Count 4 of the indictment, Powell was individually charged with “willfully and intentionally” violating the terms of his oath of office under OCGA § 16-10-1 in that he did fail to uphold the Constitution of the United States, which provides in Article VII, Amendment V, that no person shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process, as...
At the hearing on the general demurrers, Powell and Scott argued that the indictment should be dismissed because they could Powell and Scott filed motions to dismiss the indictment, seeking to be discharged and acquitted of all charges because they were not tried during the September 2021 term of court or the next term of court, which began in March 2022...

Capote v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia desestimó su propia concesión de revisión en la apelación de un hombre del condado de Gwinnett, decidiendo que este caso no era el vehículo adecuado para resolver si los estándares de Georgia de 'claramente erróneo' y 'alguna prueba' para revisar la determinación de hechos de los tribunales de primera instancia en casos penales son lo mismo.
* For a discussion about standards of review to make sense, it is helpful to understand the factual context in which the question about the standards arose. That’s because a standard of review often feels like an academic rubric until it is applied to a particular set of factual or legal findings—and it is often only at that point that a difference in a...
The written notice and request for final disposition referred to in paragraph (a) here shall be given or sent by the prisoner to the warden, commissioner of corrections or other official having custody of him, who shall promptly forward it together with the certificate to the appropriate prosecuting official and court by registered or certified mail or...

Harper v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó las condenas por asesinato de Terry Harper por un tiroteo en un bar del condado de Fulton en 2003, rechazando sus reclamos sobre una demora de casi 19 años en la apelación, la negativa a declarar un juicio nulo y la asistencia ineficaz de su abogado.
1. Harper first contends that the over-19-year delay between his conviction and his direct appeal violated his right to due process under the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution. We review Harper’s claim that his delayed appeal constituted a due process violation under the four-part balancing test set forth in Barker v. Wingo, 407 U.S....
Harper’s third appellate counsel was replaced by Harper’s current appellate counsel, who, after obtaining a continuance, filed a third amended motion for new trial on September 29, 2022. The trial court denied Harper’s motion for new trial, as amended, on November 30, 2022, approximately 19 years and three months after 4 At the same hearing, Harper told the...

Sturkey v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó la condena por asesinato de Ricardo Sturkey, rechazando reclamos sobre las preguntas de un juez durante el juicio, el testimonio del polígrafo y la asistencia ineficaz del abogado, mientras señalaba una demora de casi 13 años en el proceso de apelación.
victim of apparently unrelated crimes would have created a reasonable probability of a different outcome at trial. See Graves v. State, 306 Ga. 485, 489 (2) (a) (831 SE2d 747) (2019) (rejecting ineffective assistance claim premised on counsel’s failure to procure an expert witness because appellant failed to show that such testimony “would have rebutted the...
Sturkey’s present counsel ever filed an entry of appearance, so the precise date she became involved in this case is not apparent from the record. However, it is clear that present counsel has represented Sturkey since at least 2016, when Sturkey filed an inquiry with the Bar regarding his inability to communicate with counsel, and Sturkey’s pro se filings...

Edwards-Tuggle 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 Gwinnett, rechazando los argumentos de que los comentarios del juez sobre el horario presionaron al jurado y de que la estrategia de su abogado en el juicio equivalió a asistencia ineficaz.
On behalf of the defense, a clinical social worker testified that the appellant shot Grier while suffering from “battered person syndrome.” The appellant also presented several lay witnesses, including his mother, who testified that Grier had repeatedly verbally and physically abused the appellant since 2003, shortly after Grier had married his mother. In...
Folks, as I told you, submitting an important case to both sides at 4:10 on a Friday afternoon before a holiday week is not ideal, but it’s still an important case to both sides. My experience is that jury deliberations take a while. That’s why we have 12 people. They see it differently. So the intent is to get it right, not go fast. Ordinarily, we would...

State v. Harris
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia dictaminó que un tribunal superior envió indebidamente el caso de asesinato de un adolescente al tribunal de menores, sosteniendo que una primera acusación oportuna mantuvo el caso en el tribunal superior incluso después de que una reacusación posterior agregara nuevos cargos.
In pertinent part, OCGA § 17-7-50.1 provides: (a) Any child who is charged with a crime that is within the jurisdiction of the superior court, as provided in Code Section 15-11-560 or 15-11-561, who is detained shall within 180 days of the date of detention be entitled to have the charge against him or her presented to the grand jury. The superior court...
The Court of Appeals indeed held in Armendariz that an out- of-time reindictment represents “the state’s failure to obtain the timely return of a true bill,” which “requires that the case then be transferred back to juvenile court.” Armendariz, 316 Ga. App. at 396 (1) (citing OCGA § 17-7-50.1 (b)). But that holding is incorrect, is inconsistent with the...

CATOOSA COUNTY REPUBLICAN PARTY v. HENRY
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia desestimó la apelación del Partido Republicano del Condado de Catoosa sobre candidatos primarios bloqueados, dictaminando que el partido esperó demasiado y no exigió una decisión rápida antes de que la elección ya hubiera ocurrido.
Although the trial court worked quickly to resolve the parties’ dispute prior to the qualifying deadline, and the CCRP Defendants quickly filed a notice of appeal, any sense of urgency apparently ended at that point. The CCRP Defendants appealed to the wrong court — with a notice of appeal that jumbled the questions of subject matter jurisdiction and...

SMITH v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia dictaminó que un caso de decomiso civil de $1 millón contra una familia de reciclaje de metales debe regresar para más revisión porque la demanda del Estado no describió correctamente el delito de hurto por apropiación.
On February 28, 2022, Appellants filed a motion seeking dismissal of the second amended complaint or judgment on the pleadings. As relevant here, Appellants argued that the trial court had failed to timely hold a bench trial or order a continuance, as required by OCGA § 9-16-12 (f), and that the State had failed to allege the essential elements of a crime,...
1 We granted certiorari on September 19, 2023. The case was docketed to this Court’s term beginning in December 2023 and was orally argued on January 9, 2024. intent element of theft by taking could be inferred from the allegations of the second amended complaint, and thus that the second amended complaint satisfied OCGA § 9-16-12 (a)’s requirement that the...

Peterson v. Vie
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia desechó la apelación de una candidata a jueza de sucesiones del condado de Douglas que impugnaba los requisitos de residencia de su oponente, al considerar que no actuó con suficiente rapidez para resolver la disputa antes de las elecciones primarias.
3 We have explained that those prudential considerations include “preventing the unnecessary expense of holding more than one election, assuring the finality of results, and respecting the sanctity of elections wherein the will of the people is the supreme law.” Henry, 319 Ga. at 798 (citation and punctuation omitted). See also Miller, 319 Ga. at 548-549...

Platt v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó la condena por asesinato de Rodrigues Platt, al dictaminar que la divulgación tardía de los resultados de una prueba de cabello y de una entrevista policial grabada no requería un juicio nulo ni un nuevo juicio dada la sólida evidencia en su contra.
(i) A mistrial was not essential to preserve Platt’s right to a fair trial. Platt argues that he was prejudiced by the late disclosure because he had referenced the fact that the first interview was not recorded in his opening statement. But Platt does not show how the late disclosure harmed him. He first argues that he was prejudiced because he referred to...
Platt contends that he was prejudiced by the trial court’s 5 In one part of his brief, Platt notes that the State called five witnesses after lunch (after he listened to the recording), lists four witnesses (“Detective Snider, a GBI crime lab tools examiner, Plair, and Detective Howard”), and then states “the newly-disclosed recording impacted all three.”...

Starks 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 Joseph Starks por una persecución policial fatal a alta velocidad, y rechazó su alegato de que su abogado debió presentar pruebas médicas en lugar de intoxicación como explicación de su pérdida de conciencia.
1. The evidence presented at trial showed the following. On December 14, 2016, a sheriff’s deputy stationed on the side of Interstate 85 observed a 2010 Kia Rio traveling southbound at excessive speed. The deputy activated his radar unit, which indicated a speed of 95 miles per hour in an area with a posted speed limit of 70 miles per hour. The deputy...

Garrison v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia dictaminó que los fiscales no tienen que probar que las órdenes de emergencia judicial por COVID-19 extendieron un plazo para acusar a una acusada de DUI, pero devolvió su caso porque se usó la prueba legal equivocada para admitir pruebas de sobriedad de campo similares a la del alcoholímetro.
Moreover, the notice requirements associated with statutory tolling exceptions are not required in at least one other context. For example, in OCGA § 17-3-3, the General Assembly has chosen to extend the statute of limitations for a set duration in certain 13 United States Supreme Court precedent provides that although federal due process requires essential...
Unlike with the fact-based statutory tolling exceptions, there is not a meaningful defense to be mounted against the occurrence of a procedural event (i.e., a timely accusation is quashed or nolle prossed). In Sallie, we held that “OCGA § 17-3-3 provides an extension of the statute of limitation[s] period and not an exception to it that must be pled in the...

State v. LOPEZ-CARDONA
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia devolvió las decisiones de un juez del condado de Gwinnett que suprimían las declaraciones policiales de dos sospechosos de asesinato, al considerar que las conclusiones fácticas del juez eran demasiado escasas para revisar si los hombres entendieron y renunciaron a sus derechos Miranda.
(i) With respect to whether Lopez-Cardona and Mendez were adequately apprised of their rights under Miranda, the trial court first recounted Machain’s testimony that the officer who recited the rights in Spanish “was fast[-]speaking and possibly mumbling” when he read the rights, and the court then found that the officer “was very fast[-]speaking” when he...

Howard v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia resolvió que un acusado cuya condición de infractor primerizo se revoca y que luego es formalmente declarado culpable y resentenciado puede apelar directamente, sin pedir primero permiso mediante una solicitud discrecional.
Accordingly, upon the trial court’s entry of an adjudication of guilt, Howard was entitled to a direct appeal under OCGA § 5-6-34 (a). Therefore, we reverse the Court of Appeals’s judgment and remand for further proceedings consistent with this opinion. Judgment reversed and case remanded. All the Justices concur, except LaGrua, J., who dissents.

Reyes v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó una sentencia de 15 años para un hombre condenado por matar a un conductor mientras conducía ebrio, dictaminando que un tribunal de primera instancia puede considerar el estatus migratorio de un acusado y su probable deportación al decidir si conceder libertad condicional.
