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.
12 In Registe, a detective who was investigating a double murder learned from a third person that the victims were supposed to meet someone named “Mike” on the morning they were killed. The witness had a cell phone number for “Mike.” The detective faxed a request to the service provider for the owner of the account and for a log of calls for a two-hour...
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...

State v. Walden
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia revocó un fallo que había suprimido declaraciones que una mujer del condado de Newton hizo a los investigadores antes de recibir las advertencias Miranda, al determinar que las grabaciones de video mostraban que ella no estaba bajo custodia en ese momento.
Shortly thereafter, Deputy Sydnor received instructions over his radio to “detain” Walden, stop talking to her, and bring her in to the sheriff’s office. It does not appear from the video recording that Walden noticed the instruction that she be “detained,” however, because she was talking in a focused and intense manner when that message came across the...

Griffin 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 los reclamos de que los jurados revisaron indebidamente mensajes de texto de un teléfono celular durante las deliberaciones y de que su abogado fue ineficaz por no impedir esa revisión.
Eventually, Griffin was arrested at the hotel, and he had another cell phone in his possession that he later denied owning. When Griffin was being booked into jail, he named Rufus and Robby Griffin from Alabama as his emergency contacts. While in jail, Griffin made two calls to the number shared by Rufus and Robby, and this phone number was found in the...
7 There was testimony that Griffin had been working as a prostitute. 8 Griffin’s counsel objected on the ground that the State had not shown a proper chain of custody, but the objection was overruled. No other objections were raised. Following the admission of the cell phone, which had been charged prior to trial, Griffin made no objection to its being sent...

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.
A few days after the shooting, the police searched the Sonic and Williams’s home. They found a camouflage mask in the car. Saliva found inside the mask tested positive for Grant’s DNA. The police found Moon’s fingerprints on the exterior of the car and on a soda can in the car’s console. The police also found receipts in the car indicating that Grant had...
The lead detective’s affidavit in support of the application for the search warrant set forth the details about the homicides, including the type of ammunition used to kill Biancosino and Pickels.

Vivian v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó las condenas de Nathaniel Vivian por asesinato en la comisión de un delito grave, robo a mano armada y delitos relacionados en la muerte a tiros de Daniel Zeitz, rechazando sus reclamos de autorrepresentación y asistencia ineficaz de abogado, pero devolvió el caso para una nueva sentencia porque fue condenado indebidamente por dos cargos de asesinato en la comisión de un delito grave por una sola víctima.
To prevail on such claims, a defendant must show that his trial counsel’s performance was deficient and that, but for such deficient performance, there is a reasonable probability that the result of the trial would have been different. See Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668, 687 (III) (104 SCt 2052, 80 LE2d 674) (1984). To prove deficient performance,...
The State introduced the two cell phones into evidence through the testimony of a Sandy Springs Police investigator. The prosecutor asked the investigator how he recognized the two exhibits containing the cell phones, and the investigator replied that he recognized them through handwritten labels noting the case number and descriptions reading “Dixon Cell...

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.
Detectives interviewed all three co-defendants, beginning with Collins, who at first denied — but later admitted — that he had a cell phone and confirmed the number. Collins denied any involvement in Kelley’s murder and said that he had been at home all day, went to his girlfriend’s house that evening, and stayed there for the rest of the night. Burdine...

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.
On May 15, the morning after Fort’s death, Miller’s mother brought Miller and Dennard to the Cordele Police Department because she had heard Miller’s name mentioned in connection with the shooting and wanted to “clear his name.” Police interviewed Miller and Dennard and obtained cell phone numbers and DNA samples from both men. Miller and Dennard...
After giving statements to the police on May 15, Miller and Dennard left town and could not be located by the police. On June 3, officers from the Camden County Sheriff’s Office found the two men in a motel room in St. Marys, Georgia, but they were not registered under either of their names. Both men were placed under arrest. Miller and Dennard were then...

Nelson v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó el rechazo de la moción de un acusado de asesinato para suprimir evidencia de un teléfono celular y una laptop, dictaminando que su larga reclusión y el hecho de no haber pedido que le devolvieran los dispositivos debilitaron su interés de privacidad a pesar de una demora de dos años.
and private interests in this context, considering (1) the significance of the interference with the person’s possessory interest; (2) the duration of the delay; (3) whether or not the person consented to the seizure; and (4) the government’s legitimate interest in holding the property as evidence. See id. (citing United States v. Laist, 702 F3d 608,...
5 Nelson argued to the trial court that his counsel’s request for discovery of data contained on his phone was akin to requesting a return of the device. The trial court rejected that argument, saying that “[a] request for discovery and the subsequent disclosure of discoverable materials by the State does not result in the release of physical evidence.” We...

BUTLER v. THE STATE (Two Cases)
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó las condenas por asesinato y actividad de pandillas de Demarco Butler y Antonio Avery, dictaminando que la evidencia era suficiente para condenar y que las pruebas sobre pandillas y una entrevista policial fueron admitidas correctamente en el juicio.
According to McGhee, she and Poole then went back to Butler’s house. Butler and Avery were there, and in the house McGhee noticed two guns, one of which she identified as a shotgun. The women demanded to know what had happened, and Butler eventually responded, “he tried to grab the gun and got shot.” Avery warned McGhee not to call the police, or she would...
(a) The evidence presented at trial showed, among other things, that: McGhee and Poole had connected with the victims through a dating website they used for prostitution and made plans to meet with them on the night of the crimes; Butler and Avery, both convicted felons, met with McGhee and Poole before the women left to meet the victims, gave McGhee a gun,...

Ash v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó la condena por asesinato de Jabarri Ash por la muerte a tiros de Mario Shaw, rechazando sus objeciones sobre decisiones probatorias, instrucciones al jurado y alegaciones de que la policía destruyó indebidamente su teléfono celular.
After his interview with the detective, Ash was arrested. Incident to the arrest, the detective collected Ash’s cell phone. Pursuant to Atlanta Police Department procedures, the detective generated a bar code for the phone on April 5, but he did not turn the phone over to the department’s property control unit until July 22, 2013, in apparent violation of...

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.
About three weeks after the murder, on April 24, Appellant’s girlfriend Fort visited him in jail. A detective had provided her with a small audio-recording device, which she hid in her clothing and used to record the meeting with Appellant; the audio recording of the meeting was played for the jury during the trial. The recording reflects that Appellant...
(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...

Stafford v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó la condena por asesinato en la comisión de un delito grave de un hombre del condado de Fulton, al concluir que aunque se admitió incorrectamente cierta evidencia en el juicio, esto no afectó el resultado dada la solidez de las demás pruebas en su contra.
Clark testified that after jumping over the fence, he and Spencer went in one direction and Appellant went in an opposite direction. Spencer and Clark shed their outer clothing, placed the clothes in the backpack, and disposed of the backpack in an alleyway. They then walked to a nearby Krispy Kreme, where they called an Uber to take them back to the...

Washington 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, al dictaminar que la decisión de su abogado de no objetar la evidencia de video de vigilancia del hotel y de la cámara del tablero fue una estrategia razonable de juicio, no un error legal.
Detective Scott Demeester, who was qualified as an expert in cell phone data interpretation and cell-site analysis, testified regarding data recovered from the defendants’ cell phones. A cell phone associated with Washington called and texted Jackson’s cell phone several times in the days leading up to the shooting. At 6:39 p.m. on January 5, Washington...
(a) As discussed above in Division 1, trial counsel made a strategic decision not to object to the surveillance videos. At the motion for new trial hearing, trial counsel testified that he did not object to the admission of the hotel surveillance videos because “the main part of [his] strategy in representing [Washington] was to establish that he was at the...

Johnson v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó la condena por asesinato de Sharod Johnson por un robo armado fatal en una tienda de comestibles Ingles, rechazando sus reclamos sobre el silencio de un testigo en el estrado y sobre registros de teléfono, casa y automóvil.
4. Johnson also contends, in several enumerations of error, that the trial court erred when it admitted certain evidence obtained from a search of his cell phone. The record shows that, after the Ingles robbery, Johnson voluntarily came to the police station for an interview, which began shortly after midnight on September 6. While Johnson — who was not...
At trial, the State presented evidence — over Johnson’s objection — that Adside was contacting Johnson’s phone repeatedly after the Ingles robbery and that, in the afternoon following the robbery, officers used Adside’s number to track Adside’s phone to the Mall of Georgia, where Adside and two other people (Jackson and McMillan) were arrested as they...

Waller v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó las condenas de un hombre del condado de Muscogee por homicidio en la comisión de un delito grave y posesión de arma en un robo fatal a un hombre que llevaba $40,000 en una mochila, pero ordenó que se anulara su condena separada por robo a mano armada porque duplicaba el mismo delito.
Following the interview with Clark, police officers obtained his cell phone. Police officers then executed search warrants to obtain records connected to Clark’s cell phone, and later, to the cell phones used by Appellant and Powell on June 15.

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.
Regarding the relative location of Matthews’s and Garnto’s apartment, the Citgo convenience store where Young’s debit card was used shortly after she was stabbed, and Young’s apartment, an investigator testified as follows: traveling between Matthews’s apartment and Young’s apartment along the main road (Concord Road/Spring Road) is a distance of about four...
Robyn Hollis testified as follows. Young and Hollis had been friends for five or six years at the time of Young’s death. Hollis considered Young a close friend, and they would confide in each other about things that were going on in their lives. Before her death, Young mentioned having meals with “her guy Freeman” to Hollis. The day before her death, Young...

Thornton v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó las condenas de William Denzel Thornton por asesinato y robo a mano armada en la muerte por apuñalamiento de Jullisa Cooke, rechazando sus alegatos sobre pruebas insuficientes, errores del juicio y una solicitud denegada de aplazamiento del juicio.
2 Thornton makes no argument that all the evidentiary errors we assume today, though individually harmless, nevertheless harmed him when considered cumulatively, and no such cumulative prejudice is apparent to us on this record. See State v. Lane, 308 Ga. 10, 18 (1) (838 SE2d 808) (2020) (“[A] 3. Thornton argues that the trial court erred in denying his...
Based on the State’s representations, and a review of federal statutes pertaining to accessing digitally-stored information, the trial court denied Thornton’s request to use Cooke’s cell phone to access the Facebook application, concluding that for Brady purposes, Thornton had knowledge of the information he was seeking. Thornton then asked for a...

Swinson v. State
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó las condenas por doble asesinato de un hombre del condado de Seminole, rechazando sus argumentos de que las pruebas eran insuficientes, que sus registros de teléfono celular fueron obtenidos ilegalmente y que su abogado fue ineficaz.
Swinson also admitted getting the colors of the victims’ cars from his friend but said he gave it to “the Mexicans.” However, 4 The girlfriend testified that the bullet did not belong to her and that it must have belonged to Swinson. Swinson’s cell phone data showed that after he called his friend on the day of the murders, he made no other outgoing calls...
5 Swinson asserted three separate enumerations of error raising the general grounds under OCGA §§ 5-5-20 and 5-5-21, but he addressed these enumerations as one in his appellate brief and argued only sufficiency of the evidence. 6 As this Court recently explained in Lofton v. State, 310 Ga. 770 (854 SE2d 690) (2021), [a] “cell site” typically consists of a...

MOORE v. THE STATE (Two Cases)
Resumen de Georgia Commons (escrito con IA): La Corte Suprema de Georgia confirmó las condenas por asesinato de Simeon Moore y Walter Milbourne por un robo a mano armada en el condado de Cobb que dejó a una víctima muerta por disparo y a otra herida, rechazando los cuestionamientos a la evidencia, el proceso del juicio con jurado y la representación legal.
Case No. S21A0221 4. Milbourne contends that the trial court violated the continuing witness rule by sending out with the jury during deliberations a PowerPoint presentation that summarized the admitted cell phone evidence. However, the continuing witness rule is directed at written testimony that is heard by the jury when read from the witness stand. See...
Milton drove to the nearby apartment complex where he and Jamie were living temporarily with friends in Apartment 1707. Milton backed into a parking space by the 1800 building, and as he got out of the car, he noticed Robinson’s cell phone on the seat.
