McKenzie v. State

How courts have described this case

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

• noting that, because OCGA § 24-3-53 requires “admissions” to be scanned with care and “confessions of guilt” to be received with great caution, jury instructions based on this principle should refer to a defendant’s incriminatory statements only, not to a defendant’s statements generally
• trial court erred in instructing the jurors that they were authorized to consider a witnesses’s intelligence in determining his or her credibility, although error was not so harmful as to require reversal
