View this case - free  

Overview: Appellant's convictions for felony murder and other crimes were reversed on appeal as the trial court abused its discretion by failing to strike a juror for cause after the juror expressed a distinct bias against appellant with regard to him being guilty and the trial court failed to question the juror as to his ability to set aside his prejudices.

View this case - free  

Overview: Given sufficient evidence of defendant's involvement in the armed robbery and murder of the victim as a party to the crimes, no errors in the content and order of the jury charges, and the lack of evidence supporting defendant's ineffective assistance of counsel claims, his convictions were upheld and he was properly denied a new trial.

State v. Hunter, S07A0139., SUPREME COURT OF GEORGIA, May 14, 2007, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Despite additional information which was omitted by an affiant in his affidavit for a search warrant, said affidavit provided sufficient probable cause connecting defendant to the residence searched for a magistrate to conclude that there was a fair probability that evidence of a crime would be found therein. Thus, a suppression order was reversed.

Swanson v. State, S07A0301., SUPREME COURT OF GEORGIA, May 14, 2007, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Under O.C.G.A. § 17-16-6, the trial court's actions in allowing defendant's counsel to inspect a detective's notes as well as the chance to question the detective in that regard were a permissible response to any failure by the State to comply with the Criminal Procedure Discovery Act. Furthermore, defendant had not shown prejudice or bad faith.

Taylor v. State, S07A0404., SUPREME COURT OF GEORGIA, May 14, 2007, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Malice murder and aggravated battery convictions were affirmed, as the pleadings filed in a civil lawsuit by defendant against the victim and others, although privileged, were admissible to show defendant's motive and state of mind. Further, the court's admonishments and prosecutor's objections to defendant's conduct did not warrant a mistrial.

Thaggard v. Willard, A07A0528., COURT OF APPEALS OF GEORGIA, SECOND DIVISION, May 14, 2007, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Trial court did not err in denying a couple's petition to adopt a child and to terminate a father's parental rights under O.C.G.A. § 19-8-10. Although the father had not provided a stable or wholesome relationship with the child based on his drug violations and incarcerations, he had paid some child support and had communicated with the child.

Walker v. Johnson, S07A0261., SUPREME COURT OF GEORGIA, May 14, 2007, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Because the State's suppression of exculpatory statements was more than sufficient to place the outcome of the trial in doubt, as such made the State's case much stronger than the full facts would have suggested, and based on such suppression, the trial did not produce a verdict worthy of confidence, an inmate was properly granted habeas relief.
