Tatum v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia resolvió que los tribunales que apliquen la doctrina de la fuente independiente deben decidir si la policía decidió solicitar una orden de registro debido a un registro ilegal anterior, y no solo si la solicitud de la orden tenía suficiente evidencia por sí sola.
1 The incident occurred late at night on July 15, 2018, and Appellant was arrested either on July 15, 2018, or very early in the morning on July 16, 2018.

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.
3. In the second certiorari question, we asked if the Court of Appeals erred in holding that, because the intent element of theft by taking could be inferred from the allegations of the second amended complaint, the second amended complaint satisfied OCGA § 9-16-12 (a)’s requirement that the complaint allege the essential elements of the offense. As...
We begin our construction of OCGA § 9-16-12 (a) by noting that the provision, which was enacted in 2015, see Ga. L. 2015, pp. 693, 702, 753, §§ 1-1, 4-1 (effective July 1, 2015), was modeled on a statutory precursor in the Criminal Code. That statutory precursor provided that an in rem forfeiture complaint must “allege the essential elements of the...

DUNSTON v. THE STATE (Two Cases)
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó las condenas por asesinato en la comisión de un delito grave de Dallas McCabe y Akhemu Dunston, quienes condujeron y planearon el robo a un comprador de marihuana que terminó con un coacusado disparándole durante la huida.
After the shooting, McCabe fled Georgia and eventually traveled to Mexico, where he obtained a new phone number and created a social media account using an alias. On August 1, pictures of McCabe’s car, which showed damage to the rear passenger-side window, were taken by tag-reader cameras in Texas as McCabe drove through the state. McCabe was located by the...
1. Both McCabe and Dunston contend that the evidence was constitutionally insufficient to support the jury’s verdicts. When evaluating the sufficiency of the evidence as a matter of federal constitutional due process, we view the evidence presented at trial in the light most favorable to the prosecution and consider whether it was sufficient to authorize a...

Henderson 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 que apuñaló hasta matar a su hermana de 15 años, dictaminando que la evidencia de un ataque previo con cuchillo contra otra hermana fue admitida correctamente y que no se justificaba una instrucción sobre homicidio voluntario.
ELLINGTON, Justice. A DeKalb County jury found Gavin Henderson (“Henderson”) guilty of malice murder, cruelty to children in the first degree, and possession of a knife during the commission of a felony in connection with the fatal stabbing of his sister, Kiara Henderson.1 Henderson contends the trial court erred in admitting prior-acts evidence, failing to...

In June 2018, 27-year-old Henderson lived in the Lacota Apartments in DeKalb County with his mother, Trayshelle Henderson, and his three siblings, 21-year-old Ceaira Henderson, 15-year-old Kiara, and 11-year-old Z.

Miller v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó la condena por asesinato de Bryan Miller, dictaminando que la evidencia de dos incidentes violentos anteriores con su esposa se usó correctamente para mostrar un patrón en su relación, a pesar de la afirmación de Miller de que le disparó en defensa propia.
Regarding this incident, Miller testified at trial that he and Gracie had been “having an argument” and “kind of fussing,” and that ultimately his wife threw a cup of bleach in his face. He testified that a friend of his called the police on his behalf, over his objection, to report the bleach attack. But when police arrived, they took Miller into custody,...

Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó el rechazo de la solicitud, presentada décadas tarde, de un hombre del condado de DeKalb para obtener trato retroactivo de infractor primerizo, al determinar que nunca obtuvo el consentimiento requerido del fiscal antes de presentarla y que la ley no viola sus derechos constitucionales.

Shellman 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 Chatham por matar a su esposa, rechazando su versión de que un oficial de policía le disparó y montó la escena, y dictaminó que el diario de ella que describía su abuso fue admitido correctamente en el juicio.
Even assuming the evidence against Shellman was entirely cir- cumstantial, the evidence authorized the jury to reject Shellman’s alternative hypothesis as unreasonable. As recounted above, Sha- nelle’s two children and the responding officers all testified that Shellman and Shanelle were lying wounded on the bedroom floor, not on the front porch as he...
At trial, the State established that police found the journal in the closet in the bedroom of the crime scene. And Shanelle’s mother identified the handwriting in the journal as Shanelle’s, explaining that she recognized Shanelle’s handwriting because she had re- ceived cards and letters from her. The State published the admitted portions of the journal to...

White v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó las condenas de Erica White por asesinato y RICO por la muerte por envenenamiento con codeína de su hijo de dos años con discapacidad, rechazando reclamos sobre pruebas indebidas, falta de separación de cargos, defectos en la acusación, asistencia legal ineficaz y evidencia ocultada.
(b) The Trial Court Did Not Abuse Its Discretion in Declining to Sever Counts 5, 7 through 14, and 16 (i) Having concluded that severance of Counts 5, 7 through 14, and 16 was not mandatory, we must evaluate whether the trial court nonetheless abused its discretion by denying White’s motion to sever. To begin, White has not pointed to any evidence, and we...
White has not shown that the trial court erred in denying her special demurrer based on her arguments about “improper comments” on her character. To begin, “an indictment is not evidence,” Cash v. State, 297 Ga. 859, 863 n.4 (778 SE2d 785) (2015), and the trial court instructed the jury on that point. Moreover, the language of Count 16 accurately described...

Scott 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 Cobb, al dictaminar que la evidencia circunstancial, incluidos casquillos de bala coincidentes y descripciones de testigos oculares, fue suficiente para que el jurado lo declarara culpable más allá de toda duda razonable.

NORTH AMERICAN SENIOR BENEFITS, LLC v. WIMMER
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia resolvió que una cláusula de no reclutamiento en un contrato de trabajo no necesita especificar un área geográfica concreta para ser exigible, siempre que su alcance sea razonable según las circunstancias.
We turn first to subsection (a)’s plain text, which, as always, must be the north star of our analysis. Read as a whole, subsection (a) establishes a general standard of enforceability for “contracts that restrict competition during the term of a restrictive covenant” and specifically requires that “such restrictions” be “reasonable in time, geographic...
Specifically, OCGA § 13-8-53 (c)6 sets forth guidelines for descriptions contained in restrictive covenants, stating that the description must provide “fair notice of the maximum reasonable scope of the restraint,” even if the description “is generalized or could possibly be stated more narrowly to exclude extraneous matters.” OCGA § 13-8-53 (c) (1)....

Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia suspendió al abogado Eston William Hood, Jr. por dos años, rechazando una suspensión recomendada de un año por considerarla demasiado indulgente dado que admitió haber hecho declaraciones falsas al abogado contrario, al personal del tribunal y al propio Colegio de Abogados del Estado.

Whitaker Farms, LLC v. Fitzgerald Fruit Farms, LLC
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia dictaminó que las declaraciones que un dueño de granja hizo durante negociaciones de acuerdo no pueden usarse para probar responsabilidad por daños punitivos, revocando una decisión de la Corte de Apelaciones que había permitido esa prueba en un juicio por invasión de una granja de duraznos.
In April 2016, Whitaker learned that Lennon had “pushed up” some trees on Whitaker Farms’s property, and Whitaker reported the incident to the local sheriff. A sheriff’s deputy told Whitaker that the issue was a civil matter, explaining the deputy’s understanding that Lennon had an ownership interest in the damaged trees. On August 4, 2016, Fitzgerald...

Rashad 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 Floyd por matar al hijo de dos años de su novia, y determinó que la evidencia fue suficiente para el jurado y que las decisiones de su abogado defensor no fueron constitucionalmente deficientes.
1. Viewed in the light most favorable to the jury’s verdict, the evidence at trial showed the following. In the summer of 2017, Rashad entered into a romantic relationship with Sydney Dean, who had two children from past relationships, Adrian and L. D. The couple began living together in September 2017, and after about a month, their relationship started to...
Rashad organized their finances, Sydney testified: “It was split. [Rashad] felt like since he moved up here from Atlanta, I should be paying that, and he should be getting on his feet since he just got out of jail.” Rashad contends that his trial counsel performed deficiently by allowing this testimony, which Rashad characterized as “evidence of his bad...
