San Miguel Produce, Inc. v. L.G. Herndon Jr. Farms, Inc
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia respondió tres preguntas certificadas sobre la ley de licencias de comerciantes agrícolas de Georgia, resolviendo que una empresa de productos agrícolas que actúa como comerciante debe tener licencia y que no obtenerla puede impedirle hacer cumplir un contrato comercial ante los tribunales.
We conclude that the Act is intended as regulation in the public interest. It provides a comprehensive plan, administered by the Department of Agriculture, governing the licensing of dealers in agricultural products and their transactions with Georgia producers. In addition to criminal penalties, the Act provides for investigation of the fitness of a...
a regulatory measure in the public interest and not a mere revenue measure. This Act requires more than the mere obtaining of a business license and a mere reading of the Act discloses without contradiction that it is an enactment for the protection of the public and a recognition that unless such employment agencies are solvent and operated by persons of...

In the Matter of Howard L. Sosnik
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia suspendió a un abogado de Georgia por seis meses como disciplina reciproca después de que Nueva York lo disciplinara por no supervisar la cuenta de fideicomiso de su firma de abogados, lo que permitió que un empleado se apropiara indebidamente de fondos de clientes.
PER CURIAM. This disciplinary matter is before the Court on the petition for voluntary discipline filed by Howard L.

Nuckles v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia dictaminó que un video de cámara oculta en la habitación de un paciente de un asilo de ancianos puede usarse como prueba contra una enfermera acusada en su muerte, porque el paciente contaba como ocupante de la propiedad y la enfermera no tenía una expectativa razonable de privacidad mientras trabajaba allí.
2. With regard to her first contention, Nuckles argues that the phrase “owner or occupier of real property,” regardless of its context, is a legal term of art referring only to a person who has ultimate control over the property and is responsible for its maintenance, protection, and guests. Because Dempsey had no such control of, or responsibility for, the...
10 See, e.g., OCGA § 16-1-3 (10) (defining the term “owner” as used in Title 16 as “a person who has a right to possession of property which is superior to that of a person who takes, uses, obtains, or withholds it from him and which the person taking, using, obtaining, or withholding is not privileged to infringe.”). adopted the Security Exception as...

Davis v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó la condena de Carlton Davis por asesinato en grado de delito grave, rechazando sus alegatos sobre una declaración forzada, una carta admitida indebidamente y una demora de 14 años en decidir su moción de nuevo juicio.
3. Davis argues that the trial court improperly admitted as evidence at trial a letter that Liberty County jail personnel opened, violating his reasonable expectation of privacy under the Fourth Amendment. However, because the record shows that opening the letter was for security and maintenance purposes, rather than for prosecutorial purposes, the search...
Franks testified that “[i]n all cases, . . . all mail that comes into the jail is [opened and] monitored for contraband . . . unless it’s marked from an attorney.” He also confirmed that, in this case, what they “essentially . . . were concerned with . . . [was] investigating inside the letter to find out who the letter actually like a suicide. The letter...

FRAZEN v. DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY OF ATLANTA
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó la aprobación por un tribunal de primera instancia de hasta $1.25 mil millones en bonos de ingresos para ayudar a financiar el proyecto de reurbanización de The Gulch en el centro de Atlanta, rechazando los reclamos de ciudadanos contra el proceso y la estructura de financiamiento.
Citing cases such as Tyree v. Jackson, 226 Ga. 690, 694 (2) (177 SE2d 160) (1970), and Titelman v. Stedman, 277 Ga. 460, 461 (591 SE2d 774) (2003), the Intervenors nonetheless contend that they could not have become parties and the trial could not have begun until the trial court entered a written order granting their intervention. The cases cited by the...
IT IS FURTHER DECLARED, ORDERED, AND ADJUDGED, as a matter of fact and law, that both the issuance of the EZ Bonds and the security therefor, are sound, feasible and reasonable, as demonstrated by the evidence adduced at the hearing, including the fact that the bonds will be issued only upon proof of work completed and expenditures made[.] Isolating this...

Middleton v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia resolvió que un hombre condenado tanto por secuestrar un vehículo como por recibir ese mismo vehículo robado no puede mantener legalmente ambas condenas, porque los dos veredictos se contradicen entre sí. La corte también sostuvo que él no necesitaba objetar en el juicio para plantear el problema más adelante.
The common law crime of theft by receiving was codified in Georgia in the Code of 1833, §§ 28 and 29, which distinguished between the principal thief and the subsequent receiver: Sec. 28. If any person shall buy or receive any goods, chattels, money, or other effects, that shall have been stolen or feloniously taken from another, knowing the same to be...
4 See Code 1863, §§ 4382, 4383; Code 1868, §§ 4420, 4421; Code 1873, §§ 4488, 4489; Code 1882, §§ 4488, 4489; Penal Code 1895, §§ 171, 172; Penal Code 1910, §§ 168, 169; Code 1933, §§ 26-2620, 26-2621; Code 1933, § 26-1806.

Hill v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia revocó la condena por asesinato de un hombre del condado de Chattooga porque el tribunal de primera instancia lo obligó a sentarse ante el jurado con esposas, una cadena en la cintura y grilletes en las piernas sin una justificación adecuada ni consideración de alternativas menos restrictivas.
A trial court’s decision to shackle a defendant “‘must be subjected to close judicial scrutiny to determine if there was an essential state interest furthered by compelling a defendant to wear shackles and whether less restrictive, less prejudicial methods of restraint were considered or could have been employed.’” United States v. Durham, 287 F3d 1297,...
The record is mostly silent as to what was included in the trial court’s first security plan and why the trial court came to its security decision. Although the trial court referenced numerous pre-trial meetings and hearings in support of its decision to keep Hill visibly shackled, neither the transcripts of those hearings nor the security plan itself are...

Crowder v. State of Georgia
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia dictaminó que la ley de Georgia permite a los funcionarios notificar a propietarios de fuera del estado publicando un aviso en un periódico en casos de decomiso civil, pero los tribunales deben primero atender cualquier objeción de debido proceso y no pueden omitir un fallo requerido sobre una moción de declaración más definida.
At a hearing in January 2018, Crowder testified that the cash that had been seized belonged to him; that he received it in lump 3 Paragraph (c) (1) of OCGA § 9-16-12 provides that “[a]n answer shall be verified by the owner or interest holder under penalty of perjury” and that it shall set forth the claimant’s name and address; a “description of the...
It also held that “Crowder’s answer failed to comply with the special pleading requirements of OCGA § 9-16-12 (c) (1)” and that, “accordingly, the trial court erred in denying the State’s motion for judgment on the pleadings or, alternatively, in failing to dismiss Crowder’s answer.” Crowder, 348 Ga. App. at 855. Under this ruling, the State would be...

Westbrook 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 DeKalb, rechazando impugnaciones a su arresto sin orden judicial, a una identificación mediante fotos en el teléfono y a una llamada telefónica grabada en la cárcel usada en su contra en el juicio.
Here, the trial court found in its order that when police encountered Westbrook at the apartment in which he was living, his appearance matched the description of the murder suspect; that the officers were told by apartment management that the apartment was supposed to be vacant; and that Westbrook told the officers that he was temporarily staying in the...
2. Westbrook contends that the trial court erred by denying his pre-trial motion to suppress evidence. More specifically, he contends that the police did not have probable cause to believe that he was engaged in criminal activity by occupying the apartment in which he was living and that the evidence extracted from his cell phone should have been suppressed...

In the Matter of James Caleb Clarke III
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia certificó a James Caleb Clarke III, un exabogado que entregó su licencia en 2002 tras admitir que robó dinero de una sucesión que administraba, como apto para ejercer la abogacía nuevamente.
PER CURIAM. This bar admission matter is before the Court on the Application for Certification of Fitness to Practice Law, pursuant to Part A, Section 10 of the Rules Governing Admission to Practice Law in Georgia (“Bar Admissions Rules”), filed by James Caleb Clarke III.

Johnson v. Williams
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia revocó una orden de un tribunal de habeas corpus que había anulado las condenas de un ladrón de bancos del condado de Cobb, al dictaminar que su abogado de apelaciones no fue ineficaz por no plantear dos reclamos sobre el desempeño de su abogado de juicio.
1. In Williams’ direct appeal, the Court of Appeals summarized the evidence presented at his trial in 2009: [Viewed in the light most favorable to the jury’s verdicts], the evidence shows that shortly before noon, Williams, described as a man wearing a mask, black gloves, safety goggles, overalls, a jacket, and a blue fisherman’s hat, walked into a Cobb...

Glenn v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia dictaminó que el derecho de derecho común de Georgia a resistir un arresto ilegal también permite que una persona use fuerza proporcional contra la propiedad del gobierno, como un vehículo policial, mientras intenta escapar de una detención ilegal.
16 Blackstone wrote: The confinement of a person, in any wise, is an imprisonment. So that . . . arresting or forcibly detaining him in the street, is an imprisonment. . . . To make imprisonment lawful, it must either be by process from the courts of judicature, or by warrant from some legal officer having authority to commit to prison; which warrant must...
18 Blackstone wrote: When a delinquent is arrested by any of the means [authorized], he ought regularly to be carried before a justice of the peace. . . . The justice, before whom such prisoner is brought, is bound immediately to examine the circumstances of the crime alleged: and to this end by statute . . . he is to take in writing the examination of such...

BOWDEN v. THE MEDICAL CENTER (And Vice Versa)
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia dictaminó que una demanda colectiva contra un hospital de Georgia por sus tarifas de facturación no podía proceder, y que los pacientes sin seguro no podían demandar por fraude, tergiversación negligente ni crimen organizado solo porque el hospital cobró su tarifa estándar.

Premier Health Care Investments, LLC v. Uhs of Anchor, L.P
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia dictaminó que una agencia estatal de salud excedió su autoridad al exigir a un hospital obtener un nuevo permiso antes de reasignar camas existentes a un programa psiquiátrico, porque la ley estatal no incluye la reasignación de camas entre lo que requiere esa aprobación.
More recently, however, we construed “including” in context as a term of expansion. In Wetzel, we held that “including,” as used in a statute prohibiting the electronic furnishing of obscene material to minors, introduced a non-exhaustive list of how someone could make such material available to minors.9 There, we reasoned that “including” was “followed by...

MASSEY v. DUKE BUILDERS, INC
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia dictaminó que el gravamen de materiales de un contratista contra la propiedad de un propietario no puede incluir ganancias que el contratista esperaba obtener por trabajo sin terminar, pero que incluir dichas ganancias solo anula la parte indebida, no el gravamen completo.
5 The Masseys make a policy argument that allowing the valid part of a materialmen’s lien to remain enforceable will lead to massively inflated liens being filed because the claimants will not be punished for overstating their claims by losing their entire liens. Dishonest claimants, however, face other penalties, such as a defamation of title action, see...

As did the special master, we look to the American Bar Association’s Standards for Imposing Lawyer Sanctions (1992), see In the Matter of Morse, 266 Ga. 652, 653 (470 SE2d 232) (1996), and find the following aggravating circumstances present: prior disciplinary offenses (a Formal Letter of Admonition and two Investigative Panel Reprimands in 2006); a...
