How courts have described this case

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

  • trial court did not abuse its discretion when it excused a juror who said that he would be uncomfortable sitting on the jury because he knew the girlfriend of a defendant
  • “Whether or not in a given case circumstances are sufficient to exclude every reasonable hypothesis save the guilt of the accused is primarily a question for determination by the jury.”
  • trial court did not err in denying motion for directed verdict of acquittal where evidence was sufficient for a rational trier of fact to find the elements of theft by receiving beyond a reasonable doubt
  • instruction taken directly from the Council of Superior Court Judges, Suggested Pattern Jury Instructions, which instruction accurately stated the law, could not be construed as an impermissible judicial comment on the evidence in violation of OCGA § 17-8-57
