How courts have described this case

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

  • holding that trial court did not abuse its discretion in admitting evidence of defendant’s prior convictions for impeachment purposes under OCGA § 24-6-609(a)(1) even where defendant acknowledged his prior convictions on the stand
  • noting that, because the defendant’s prior convictions were less than ten years old, the more stringent “substantially outweighs standard” does not apply as to the admission of those convictions
  • noting that these factors, even under the new Evidence Code, remained “a useful guide”
  • where defense counsel indicated he had no objection to the trial court’s decision to discharge a juror and utilize an alternate, defendant waived any argument that the trial court erred in that respect
