How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• “[Q]uestions not use its brief to expand its enumeration of errors by arguing the incorrectness of a trial court ruling not mentioned in the enumeration of errors.” (citation and punctuation omitted)
• “Corley did not object to these comments [i.e., the prosecutor’s allegedly improper comments to the jury] at trial, so this enumeration of error is not properly before our Court for review.”
• “The jury is free to reject any evidence in support of a justification defense and to accept the evidence that the shooting was not done in self- defense.” (citation and punctuation omitted)
• “[Q]uestions about the existence of justification are for a jury to decide[.]”
• “[The jury] was well aware that Corley was interested in contacting law enforcement just prior to the shooting, and the testimony of a second neighbor about this interest would have had little probative value and would have been needlessly cumulative.”
• “[I]t is within a trial court’s discretion to determine if a party is improperly attempting to use extrinsic evidence to impeach a witness by contradiction under [Rule 621] on a matter collateral to the relevant issues at trial.”
