Bell v. Hargrove
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia dictaminó que un juez de sucesiones no puede negar una licencia para portar armas solo porque un informe de antecedentes penales deja poco claro el resultado de un arresto antiguo. El juez debe tener prueba real de una condena que descalifique, no mera especulación.
COLVIN, Justice. Georgia law generally requires a person to apply for and receive a valid weapons carry license from a probate judge before carrying a handgun or other weapon in public. 1 The General Assembly has identified specific categories of people to whom “[n]o weapons carry license shall be issued,” including people with certain criminal convictions....
1 “No person shall carry a weapon without a valid weapons carry license unless he or she meets one of the exceptions to having such license as provided in subsections (a) through (g) of this Code section.” OCGA § 16-11-126 (h) (1). See also OCGA § 16-11-125.1 (5) (defining “weapon” as including handguns). Under the enumerated exceptions, if certain...

Suggs v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó la condena por asesinato con premeditación de un hombre de Moultrie por un tiroteo mortal afuera de un club nocturno, rechazando reclamos sobre la selección del jurado, una grabación secreta, fotos de la escena del crimen y el desempeño de su abogado.
4. Appellant also claims that the trial court erred in denying his motion in limine to exclude the audio recording that Pridgen secretly made of a conversation that he had with Appellant. Appellant relies on OCGA § 16-11-67, which says: “No evidence obtained in a manner which violates any of the provisions of this part [i.e., OCGA §§ 16-11-60 to 16-11-70]...

Montanez v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó las condenas por asesinato de un hombre en un tiroteo mortal durante un trato de drogas en Sandy Springs, rechazando sus alegatos de que la evidencia era insuficiente y que su abogado arruinó el contrainterrogatorio de su cómplice.
was found, his hair and beard were longer than they had been in 2014, and he provided an alias to law enforcement. He was driving a vehicle with a Kansas license plate. The State introduced evidence that Montanez had previously been convicted of theft by receiving a stolen firearm, a felony. (a) Montanez argues that the evidence presented at trial was...

Stewart v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó la condena de James Stewart por asesinato en la comisión de un delito grave en la muerte a tiros de su novia, rechazando los reclamos de que el formulario de veredicto del jurado estaba redactado de forma indebida, pero el tribunal anuló su sentencia separada por agresión agravada porque debió haberse fusionado con la condena por asesinato.
3 See OCGA §§ 16-5-3 (a) (“A person commits the offense of involuntary manslaughter in the commission of an unlawful act when he causes the death of another human being without any intention to do so by the commission of an unlawful act other than a felony.”); 16-5-60 (b) (“A person who causes bodily harm to or endangers the bodily safety of another person...

Miller v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó la condena de Keontay Miller por asesinato con malicia en la muerte por disparo de Tellis Fort, al determinar que la evidencia, incluyendo el ADN en las armas y los registros de teléfono celular, era suficiente para respaldar el veredicto.
3. Finally, even though neither party raises a merger error on appeal, we have identified two such errors in Miller’s sentencing. See generally Dixon v. State, 302 Ga. 691, 697 (4) (808 SE2d 696) (2017) (“[A]n exercise of our discretion on direct appeal to correct a merger error that harms a defendant (but of which he has not complained) may avoid...

Lofton v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó la condena por asesinato de Hakim Lofton, al dictaminar que la evidencia circunstancial, incluidos los registros telefónicos y de torres celulares, fue suficiente y que la confianza de la policía en la ley entonces vigente para obtener sus registros celulares sin orden judicial no requería descartar la evidencia.
13 In addition to challenging the release of cell phone records under 18 USC § 2702 (c) (4), Registe also argued that the release failed to comply with OCGA § 16-11-66.1 (d), which provides: “A subpoena for the production of stored wire or electronic communications and transactional records pertaining thereto may be issued at any time upon a showing by a...
7. Lofton contends that the trial court erred in denying his request that the jury be instructed that the testimony of an accomplice alone is not sufficient to warrant a conviction but must be corroborated by other evidence of the guilt of the accused.20 Specifically, Lofton argues that Eatmon was an accomplice in the 20 See OCGA § 24-14-8 (In “prosecutions...

Byers v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó las condenas de Christopher Byers por asesinato y agresión agravada en el asesinato con un hacha de Ray Walnoha, pero determinó que su condena por manipulación de pruebas por delito grave debió haber sido un delito menor y devolvió esa parte del caso para una nueva sentencia.
2 OCGA § 16-11-62 (1) prohibits “[a]ny person in a clandestine manner intentionally to overhear, transmit, or record or attempt to overhear, transmit, or record the private conversation of another which shall originate in any private place[.]” Since 2015, before the overhearing at issue in this case, “private place” has been defined for purposes of this...
3 Byers does not challenge the State’s standing to seek exclusion of Wesley’s testimony. OCGA § 16-11-67 provides that “[n]o evidence obtained in a manner which violates any of the provisions of this part [which includes OCGA § 16-11-62] shall be admissible in any court of this state except to prove violations of this part.” We previously held that Fourth...

Wilson v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó las condenas de un padrastro por abusar sexualmente de su hijastra de 13 años, y determinó que la evidencia de que él había abusado de su media hermana menor décadas atrás, cuando él mismo era un niño, fue admitida correctamente en el juicio.
(c) This Code section shall not be the exclusive means to admit or consider evidence described under this Code section. (d) As used in this Code section, the term “offense of child molestation” means any conduct or attempt or conspiracy to engage in: (1) Conduct that would be a violation of Code Section 16-6-4, 16-6-5, 16-12-100, 16-12-100.2, or...
1. Wilson contends that the evidence of his alleged prior offenses of child molestation involving P. W. did not satisfy the requirements for admission pursuant to Rule 414. Specifically, he argues that, because he was between the ages of 11 and 13 when the alleged prior offenses occurred, either he lacked the capacity to commit a crime under OCGA § 16-3-1,3...

MAXWELL v. THE STATE (Two Cases)
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó en su mayoría el fallo de un juez del condado de Chatham de que permitir que dos adolescentes se declararan culpables de posesión de armas en un tribunal estatal no bloqueó la mayoría de los cargos relacionados con el homicidio presentados después en el tribunal superior, pero ordenó la desestimación de tres cargos de actividad de pandillas vinculados directamente a los cargos de armas retirados.
Turning to the pertinent statutes, OCGA § 16-1-7 (b) provides that “[i]f the several crimes arising from the same conduct are known to the proper prosecuting officer at the time of commencing the prosecution and are within the jurisdiction of a single court, they must be prosecuted in a single prosecution,” except as provided in OCGA § 16-1-7 (c).9 OCGA §...
The last inquiry is whether it is necessary to present evidence of the gun possession crimes at the hospital in order to prove the superior court charges. With regard to the charges of felony murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, the State could prove those felonies by showing that Appellants possessed...

Moon v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia revocó las condenas por asesinato de un hombre del condado de Chatham porque la jueza de primera instancia removió indebidamente a una jurado disidente durante las deliberaciones sin una base legal sólida para hacerlo.
3 Moon was convicted of four counts of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Two of these, Counts 14 and 15, were charged pursuant to OCGA § 16-11-133 for Moon’s possession of a firearm by a convicted felon during the murders of Pickels and Biancosino. The other two, Counts 16 and 17, were charged pursuant to OCGA § 16-11-131 for Moon’s possession...
To convict Moon of malice murder and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon during the commission of a crime, the State was not required to prove that Moon personally fired the shots that killed Pickels and Biancosino, only that he was a party to the crimes, which, in this case, meant that he intentionally aided or abetted in the commission of the...

Outlaw 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 la policía debió tener una orden de registro para sus registros de teléfono celular y que sus declaraciones en la cárcel a su novia fueron usadas indebidamente en su contra.
(a) On April 10, 2014, seven days after Rabotte’s body was found, the State filed motions that requested court orders requiring Verizon and MetroPCS to disclose Appellant’s cell phone records, including CSLI, from March 27 through April 5, 2014. The motions detailed the facts of the investigation into Rabotte’s murder and said that the records would be...

Matthews v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó la condena por asesinato de Freeman Matthews en la muerte por apuñalamiento de Adrianne Young, rechazando sus alegatos sobre una confesión forzada, pruebas excluidas sobre un sospechoso alterno y asistencia legal ineficaz.
3 See OCGA § 16-11-106 (b) (1) (“Any person who shall have on or within arm’s reach of his or her person . . . a knife having a blade of three or more inches in length during the commission of . . . [a]ny crime against or involving the person of another . . . and which crime is a felony, commits a felony[.]”). 443 U. S. at 319 (III) (B); see also Johnson v....
Consequently, Matthews’s argument that his confession was inadmissible under former OCGA § 24-3-50 as having been induced by a hope of benefit or fear of injury lacks merit. 4. Matthews contends that his trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance by failing to object to certain testimony. To succeed on his claim of ineffective assistance of counsel,...

Williams v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó las condenas de un padre del condado de DeKalb por asesinato y crueldad hacia menores en la muerte por ahogamiento de su hijo de diez años, rechazando su alegato de que la evidencia era demasiado débil y de que algunas condenas debían fusionarse.
This evidence was sufficient to support Williams’s convictions for cruelty to children beyond a reasonable doubt. The jury could infer from the evidence that Williams’s acts caused Kentae excessive physical and mental pain and that they were unreasonable and unjustified. The jury was charged on justification in the context of parental discipline, but it...

Dukes v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó la condena de asesinato de Damarcus Dukes y rechazó sus reclamos sobre testimonio de referencia y pruebas de expertos excluidas, pero determinó que fue sentenciado indebidamente dos veces por el mismo delito de arma de fuego.
within the statute of limitation,7 making Dukes’ gun charges legally identical. And, because Dukes was charged with the exact same crime twice, he could not then be convicted and sentenced for both counts. Based on the foregoing, we vacate Dukes’ convictions and sentences for the two counts of possession of a firearm by a first offender probationer and...
stimulant. It makes people not sleep. It makes — kind of raises their heart rate, gets them ready to do fight or flight, that kind of thing,” any error in striking this testimony was harmless. Dr. Heninger had previously testified to the stimulant effect of amphetamines on a person’s system. Further, the medical examiner’s testimony was cumulative of other,...

COLLINS v. THE STATE (Three Cases)
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó las condenas por asesinato de tres hombres juzgados juntos por la muerte a tiros de Milton Carl Kelley, y rechazó impugnaciones a las instrucciones al jurado, la negativa a un juicio por separado y las alegaciones de mal desempeño de sus abogados.
However, even assuming that counsel performed deficiently by not taking action to keep evidence of Collins’s prior Street Gang Act violation from the jury, Collins has not shown how this deficiency likely affected the jury’s verdicts. Collins was indicted for felony murder predicated on possession of a firearm by a first-offender probationer in that he...
Let me give you the answer the law allows me to give you. I have read you the charge and I have given you the charge. To the extent there is an answer, it is in the charge. I cannot say, “look here” or “look there,” because then I’m favoring one part of the body of this charge over another. And I didn’t want to read the whole thing out for another 45...

Overstreet v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó las condenas de un hombre del condado de Ben Hill por asesinato y delitos de pandillas en la muerte por disparos de un ganador de la lotería, rechazando reclamos sobre pruebas débiles, testimonio perjudicial y la falla de su abogado en solicitar un nuevo lugar de juicio.
(b) Overstreet next argues that the evidence presented at trial was insufficient to support his convictions under the Gang Act. We disagree. Overstreet was convicted of two counts of violating the Gang Act by participating in criminal gang activity through the commission of home invasion and an armed robbery as a member of the G-Shine criminal street gang....
At trial, the State presented evidence, including Overstreet’s own statements, that Overstreet was a member of G-Shine, which is a subset of the Bloods. The evidence also established that Overstreet and other individuals identified as members of the gang, including Baker, Jordan, Johnson, and Holcomb, each had nicknames that one witness described as their...

Pope 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 su alegato de que su abogado de juicio fue ineficaz por no solicitar una audiencia previa al juicio sobre inmunidad por defensa propia.
In his amended motion for new trial, Pope contended that trial counsel was constitutionally ineffective for failing to file an immunity motion before trial. See OCGA § 16-3-24.2 (“A person who uses threats or force in accordance with [certain statutes governing justification as a defense, including self-defense,] shall be immune from criminal prosecution...

Palmer v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó la condena por asesinato de un hombre de Savannah, rechazando sus objeciones al registro de su apartamento, la exclusión de un posible testimonio de coartada, y su reclamo de que su abogado de juicio fue ineficaz.
But even assuming, without deciding, that the existence of an intentional or reckless falsehood could be established under Franks, the trial court correctly concluded that “the affidavit’s remaining content” was sufficient to establish probable cause independently of any knowledge on Bates’ part that a body had been discovered. Palmer and Whitsett were...
As this Court recently explained, the particularity requirement must be applied with a practical margin of flexibility, depending on the type of property to be seized, and a description of property will be acceptable if it is as specific as the circumstances and nature of activity under investigation permit.

STAR RESIDENTIAL, LLC v. HERNANDEZ
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia dictaminó que una víctima de un tiroteo no podía demandar al propietario y operador de su complejo de apartamentos por daños triplicados bajo la ley estatal contra pandillas, porque esa ley solo permite a las víctimas demandar a los miembros de pandillas que realmente causaron sus lesiones.
With these principles in mind, our analysis begins with a consideration of the relevant language contained in OCGA § 16-15- 7 of the Gang Act, which states: (a) Any real property which is erected, established, maintained, owned, leased, or used by any criminal street gang for the purpose of conducting criminal gang activity shall constitute a public...
Read as a whole, OCGA § 16-15-7 provides different causes of action for different remedies with different plaintiffs and defendants. The first such cause of action is for nuisance, which is covered under subsections (a) and (b). In this regard, OCGA § 16-15- 7 (a) states: Any real property which is erected, established, maintained, owned, leased, or used by...

Tyler v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó las condenas de un hombre del condado de Richmond por asesinato en la comisión de un delito grave, robo a mano armada y allanamiento en la muerte por disparo de un guardia de seguridad durante un robo de cobre, al determinar que la prueba circunstancial era suficiente.
We first consider the sufficiency of the evidence presented as to the offense of felony murder predicated on aggravated assault. OCGA § 16-5-1 (c) provides that “[a] person commits the offense of murder when, in the commission of a felony, he or she causes the death of another human being irrespective of malice.” Tyler’s felony murder conviction was...
