View this case - free  

Overview: Because child molestation was not an offense listed in O.C.G.A. § 15-11-28(b)(2)(A), the trial court erred in using O.C.G.A. § 15-11-63(a)(2)(D) to classify it as a designated felony act when it sentenced defendant juvenile.

Winzer v. EHCA Dunwoody, LLC, A05A2049. A05A2179., COURT OF APPEALS OF GEORGIA, February 22, 2006, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: After a trial on damages only, the liability against two guarantors was not in issue. Thus, any arguments premised on purported evidentiary errors concerning the issue of liability were misplaced. Further, a tenant's appeal was properly dismissed as time-barred, given a two-and-a-half-year delay in obtaining legal representation to pursue the same.

Pearson v. Tippmann Pneumatics, Inc., A05A1581., COURT OF APPEALS OF GEORGIA, February 23, 2006, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Charges regarding proximate cause were unlikely to mislead jury into believing that only last action nearest in time could have been proximate cause. Court charged that proximate cause could have been found if it constituted contributing factor and that act proximately caused damages if it stood last in causation, not necessarily in time or place.

Roberts v. State, A05A1917., COURT OF APPEALS OF GEORGIA, February 23, 2006, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Armed robbery and burglary convictions were supported by defendant's admission to possessing a gun stolen in the robbery, his possession of other items used in commission of the crimes, and his flight when confronted by police. The State's failure to produce or ever locate the weapon used, or the presence of an inconsistent verdict were immaterial.
