Mercer v. State

How courts have described this case

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

• incompetent evidence that trial court should have suppressed cannot be considered in determining evidence sufficiency
• evidence obtained as the result of an unlawful search and seizure is incompetent as well as inadmissible, and, therefore, cannot be considered in determining evidence sufficiency
• search and detention of defendants who were found by police standing outside of buildings to be searched under the warrant and not near the only person named in warrant was not justified under OCGA § 17-5-28 (2)
• “The inadmissible evidence was all the State had to prove their case; thus, the evidence . . . was insufficient for a rational trier of fact to find them guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of the offenses charged.”
