Williams v. State

How courts have described this case

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

• holding that “a charge under OCGA § 16-5-3 (a) was not warranted” because the defendant “admitted that he intentionally shot the victim”
• in analyzing claim under OCGA § 17-8-75, noting that trial counsel “objected and moved for a mistrial”
• where defendant testified that he shot victim multiple times in self- defense, jury charge on involuntary manslaughter not warranted
• prosecutor’s prejudicial question, which “was limited to one sentence and was promptly objected to,” causing the trial court to tell prosecutor to “drop further questioning on the matter,” did not require reversal, in part because of “the strength of the case against [defendant]”
