View this case - free  

Overview: Although a partner who filed bankruptcy did not report a partnership judgment against a judgment debtor on its bankruptcy schedule, the partnership was not judicially estopped from collecting the debt against the debtor in a writ of fieri facias proceeding, as the bankruptcy trustee was apprised of the claim and chose to disregard it.

View this case - free  

Overview: Because defendant claimed to have a gun, threatened to blow the victim's head off, and the victim saw a bulge in defendant's pants where the gun was allegedly hidden, the evidence was sufficient to find defendant guilty of armed robbery under O.C.G.A. § 16-8-41(a).

View this case - free  

Overview: Although the State's criminal case against defendant was based on direct and circumstantial evidence and defendant requested that a jury charge be given on circumstantial evidence, pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 24-4-6, the trial court's failure to give the requested charge was harmless error where the State's case against defendant was overwhelming.

View this case - free  

Overview: Defendant's counsel's deficient performance in failing to object to a police detective's comment on defendant's decision to remain silent when he was interviewed did not require reversal of defendant's conviction where no prejudice was shown; the evidence against defendant was strong and the comments were merely made in passing.

State v. Stafford, A05A1849., COURT OF APPEALS OF GEORGIA, January 27, 2006, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: It was error for a trial court to grant defendant's suppression motion with respect to DNA evidence obtained pursuant to a search warrant, as any failure by the State to comply with O.C.G.A. § 17-5-25 was merely technical; the warrant received by defendant was unsigned and did not specify the date or time of the warrant's execution.
