State v. Wilson
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó la decisión de un tribunal de primera instancia de descartar evidencia de los teléfonos celulares de un sospechoso de asesinato, al determinar que la orden de registro permitía a la policía tomar 'todos y cualquier' dato sin limitar la búsqueda a evidencia del delito.
PINSON, Justice, concurring. We need to talk about cell phones. In Riley v. California, 573 U.S. 373 (134 SCt 2473, 189 LE2d 430) (2014), the United States Supreme Court took a small step down the road of applying the Fourth Amendment to the modern cell phone. Riley addressed the question whether the police could, without a warrant, search digital...
Riley rejected this understanding of cell phones. Indeed, the Riley Court supposed treating cell phones like other physical items that could be found on a person was “like saying a ride on horseback is materially indistinguishable from a flight to the moon. Both are ways of getting from point A to point B, but little else justifies lumping them together.”...

Prodigies Child Care Management, LLC v. Cotton
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia resolvió que la 'excepción de circunstancias especiales' usada por la Corte de Apelaciones para accidentes de auto en el horario de almuerzo y en el trayecto al trabajo no es una regla legal separada real, sino solo una forma de aplicar la prueba ordinaria de cuándo se puede demandar a un empleador por las acciones de un empleado.
unpaid lunch break during her work day, and on January 26, she used her lunch break to perform in a puppet show so that she could earn extra credit in one of her courses. Earlier that day, Bouie told her manager that she would return from her lunch break “a little bit late,” likely “a little after 2[:00 p.m.].” She clocked out for her lunch break at 12:53...
In addition, the amended complaint alleged, and Cotton later drivers from holding a cell phone in their hands, see OCGA § 40-6-241, was not in effect at the time of the accident. See Ga. L. 2018, p. 127, § 4. 3 The amended complaint also alleged a claim of negligent training and supervision against University Childcare. That claim is not at issue here, so...

The defendants were ultimately arrested. At the time of their arrest, Sillah and Saylor were in a silver BMW that matched the description given by Hrnjak. Sillah was interviewed by the police, and a recording of the interview was played at trial. He admitted that he and Stewart discussed robbing Sampleton, but denied participating in the crime.

In this Court’s opinion affirming the convictions of Saylor’s co- defendants, we summarized the trial evidence in the light most favorable to the verdicts as follows: Sillah, known as “Young,” was a member and leader of the Young Wavy Goons (“YWG”), a gang affiliated with the Bloods gang and whose members were mostly high errors, we affirmed. See Sillah v....

Adams v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó la condena por asesinato de Leon Adams en un tiroteo desde un vehículo en el condado de Fulton, rechazando sus alegatos de que la evidencia era demasiado débil y de que compartir abogado defensor con su hermano creó un conflicto de intereses incapacitante.
When the police arrived at the nightclub, Ward showed them the video recordings from his security cameras.

Wilson v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó la condena de Antonio Wilson por asesinato con delito grave, dictaminando que una compra de marihuana que salió mal fue una base legalmente suficiente para el cargo de asesinato y que el tribunal de primera instancia manejó correctamente las pruebas y las instrucciones al jurado.

SILLAH v. THE STATE (Two Cases)
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó en gran medida las condenas por asesinato de Darnell Sillah y Andrew Murray por matar a un adolescente del condado de Gwinnett, pero dictaminó que dos de las condenas de Sillah por conspiración debieron haberse fusionado con los delitos consumados.
English frequently bought goods from Murray and re-sold them. English testified that Murray, Sillah, and a man he did not recognize came to his apartment on December 19. They arrived in a silver BMW and Sillah and Murray were carrying handguns. Murray asked if English could sell some items for him. English sold many of the items that were stolen from the...
Murray, proceeding pro se on appeal, appears to argue that the trial court failed to consider the merits of his motion for new trial and that the State failed to present evidence of guilt at the motion for new trial hearing. The record belies Murray’s first claim, and the State had no burden of proof at the hearing, negating the second claim. So we affirm....

Knox v. State of Georgia
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia dictaminó que una demanda de cinco profesores del Sistema Universitario que impugnaba la ley de 'armas en el campus' de Georgia de 2017 quedó sin objeto, porque la propia Junta de Regentes adoptó una política que permite armas en el campus conforme a esa ley.

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 Douglas por estrangular a Sheila Bryant, rechazando impugnaciones a sus declaraciones, fotos de autopsia, pruebas de actos previos e instrucciones al jurado, con la disidencia de tres magistrados.
“Given the medical examiner’s testimony, the trial court did not abuse its discretion when it concluded that the autopsy photograph[s] [were] relevant under Rule 401’s broad definition.” Mitchell, 307 Ga. at 864 (3) (b). The trial court also determined that the photographs were necessary for the medical examiner to explain Bryant’s injuries, and we cannot...
14 The precise time of the searches was not included in the cell phone data. Assuming that the trial court abused its discretion by admitting this photograph of Greene’s cell phone into evidence, we conclude that any such abuse of discretion was harmless error and “requires reversal only if it harms” Greene’s “substantial rights.” Roberts v. State, 315 Ga....

Perez v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó la condena por asesinato con agravante de Geovanni Perez en un tiroteo durante un robo de drogas en el condado de Gwinnett, y determinó que la evidencia era suficiente y que las órdenes de registro policiales de su teléfono y su casa eran válidas.
11 In support of his probable-cause claim, Perez relies on United States v. Griffith, which held that a warrant authorizing a search of the appellant’s apartment for cell phones, among other things, was not supported by probable cause, because the affidavit underlying the warrant failed to set forth any facts showing that the appellant owned a cell phone,...

2. Appellant’s sole enumeration of error is that the evidence was insufficient to support his convictions as a matter of constitutional due process and OCGA § 24-14-6. We disagree.

Montgomery v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó la condena por asesinato de Gregory Montgomery, rechazando sus alegatos de que el juez de primera instancia dio una recarga defectuosa al jurado y debió haber concedido un nuevo juicio actuando como 'decimotercer jurado'.

State v. Britton
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia revocó una orden del tribunal de primera instancia que había desestimado evidencia de ubicación de un teléfono celular en un caso de asesinato en el condado de Fulton, al dictaminar que el affidávit de la orden de registro no era falso ni inválido.
