Young v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó la condena de Tia Young por asesinato en la modalidad de delito grave (felony murder) en la muerte a tiros de su esposo, al considerar suficiente la prueba circunstancial y rechazar sus reclamos sobre un juicio conjunto y las instrucciones al jurado.

Beamon v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó las condenas por asesinato de Vernon Beamon por un doble homicidio de 2016 en el condado de DeKalb, al determinar que la evidencia circunstancial que lo vinculaba con los crímenes era suficiente para que el jurado lo condenara, y resolvió que sus dos condenas por armas de fuego no debían fusionarse.
