Fisher v. State

How courts have described this case

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

• holding that defendant’s flight from police, with other evidence, corroborated accomplice testimony
• explaining that “the current Evidence Code, specifically OCGA § 24-7-704 (a), abolished the prohibition on (lay) opinion testimony concerning the ultimate issue in a case” (punctuation omitted)
• noting that Rule 704 would not have barred a lead detective’s testimony about whether someone was an accomplice to the defendant’s crime even if it touched upon the case’s ultimate issue because that rule does not bar lay opinion testimony
• non- accomplice descriptions of the shooter, as well as defendant’s flight after the shooting, was sufficient to corroborate accomplice testimony
