How courts have described this case

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

  • vacating aggravated assault conviction because the aggravated assault was part of the same transaction as an armed robbery for which the defendant was convicted
  • “[T]he relevance of other acts evidence offered to show intent is established when the prior act was committed with the same state of mind as the charged crime.”
  • where the defendant did not argue that the State failed to meet its burden on one part of a three-part test, the court addressed only the other two parts
  • under current Evidence Code, other-acts evidence had high probative value where appellant’s defense was that she was not aware that others planned to rob the victims and had no intent to participate in the crimes with them
  • “Conviction as a party to a crime requires proof that the defendant shared a common criminal intent with the principal perpetrator of the crime, which may be inferred from presence, companionship, and conduct before, during, and after the offense.” (Citations and punctuation omitted.)
  • “As we have explained, if the principal in the killing was not the defendant, … a question then would have arisen about whether the defendant was a party to the crime as an accomplice, which would have depended substantially upon [his] intent.” (quotation marks omitted)
