Muckle v. State

How courts have described this case

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

• defendant’s admission to 6 victim’s brother regarding the main facts of felony murder charge constituted a confession
• no deficiency where testimony of witness would have conflicted with reasonable defense strategy pursued by trial counsel
• while an uncorroborated confession alone cannot justify a conviction, “no specific manner of corroboration (of the confession) is required, and corroboration in any particular is sufficient”
• admission that defendant was a party to the attempted robbery that resulted in the victim’s death was not a “mere incriminating admission but a confession” that is direct evidence of his guilt (citation and punctuation omitted)
