7 Citing cases

  1. Merritt v. State

    288 Ga. App. 89 (Ga. Ct. App. 2007)   Cited 16 times
    Affirming trial court's holding that defendant opened the door to character evidence by testifying as to his feeling of remorse

    Johnson v. State, 277 Ga. App. 499, 503 (1) (a) ( 627 SE2d 116) (2006) (defendant's flight is circumstantial evidence of guilt). 215 Ga. App. 565 ( 451 SE2d 463) (1994). [a] conviction for driving or being in actual physical control of a moving vehicle while under the influence of intoxicants may be based on circumstantial evidence.

  2. Ledford v. State

    516 S.E.2d 565 (Ga. Ct. App. 1999)   Cited 1 times

    While issues as to the reasonableness of the officer's actions were relevant to Ledford's motion to suppress, that motion had been denied by the time this testimony was admitted. Although hearsay information possessed by an officer is admissible to explain his conduct in arresting the defendant, see Posey v. State, 215 Ga. App. 565(1) ( 451 S.E.2d 463) (1994), the State does not argue and we do not find that the testimony was admitted for this purpose. Nonetheless, in view of the totality of the officer's testimony concerning Ledford's behavior and appearance at the time of her arrest, it is highly probable that admission of the complained-of evidence did not contribute to the verdict.

  3. Rayburn v. State

    506 S.E.2d 876 (Ga. Ct. App. 1998)   Cited 7 times
    In Rayburn, the State produced in discovery a police report in which the preprinted section containing the officer's handwritten notations describing the results of an HGN field sobriety test had been redacted.

  4. Powell v. State

    491 S.E.2d 135 (Ga. Ct. App. 1997)   Cited 1 times

    This evidence, viewed in the light most favorable to the verdict, was sufficient to exclude every other reasonable theory so as to justify a finding of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt and to warrant the jury's rejection of the defense's experts. See Posey v. State, 215 Ga. App. 565, 566-567 (2) ( 451 S.E.2d 463) (1994). 6. We reject the senior Powell's contention that the evidence was insufficient to support his conviction for the aggravated assault of Akins. Watkins testified that he saw Powell swing an axe at Akins.

    Concluding that the indictment was sufficient to charge defendant with felony vehicular homicide when it directly tracked the language of OCGA§ 40-6-393

    Driving under the influence of alcohol may be shown by circumstantial evidence, if the evidence excludes any reasonable alternative hypothesis except that of guilt. Posey v. State, 215 Ga. App. 565, 566 (2) ( 451 S.E.2d 463) (1994). Matheson offered no alternative explanation for his condition at the scene or at the hospital several hours later, or for the testimony that he had consumed a substantial quantity of alcohol.
