3 Citing cases

  1. State v. Hamilton

    308 Ga. 116 (Ga. 2020)   Cited 19 times
    Affirming trial court's ruling where, although the trial court abused its discretion in admitting former testimony under OCGA § 24-8-804 (b), "that conclusion [did] not end our review ... because after conducting its Rule 804 (b) analysis, the trial court made an alternate holding" that the former testimony was admissible under OCGA § 24-8-807, which was not an abuse of discretion

    2, Hamilton was required to establish a justification defense under OCGA § 16-3-21 by a preponderance of the evidence. State v. Sutton , 297 Ga. 222, 222, 773 S.E.2d 222 (2015). "On appeal of an order granting or denying immunity under OCGA § 16-3-24.

  2. State v. Jennings

    337 Ga. App. 164 (Ga. Ct. App. 2016)   Cited 2 times
    Affirming trial court's grant of immunity as to one victim but not as to the other

    2, we review the evidence in the light most favorable to the trial court's ruling, and we accept the trial court's findings with regard to questions of fact and credibility if there is any evidence to support them.” (Citation and punctuation omitted.) State v. Sutton, 297 Ga. 222(1), 773 S.E.2d 222 (2015). Viewed in the light most favorable to the trial court's ruling, the evidence presented at the hearing showed that in November 2013, Chadwick Finch called Jennings and asked him whether he had the money he owed Finch, then hung up. Minutes later, Finch called Jennings back and asked him where he was located.

  3. Hayes v. State

    298 Ga. 98 (Ga. 2015)   Cited 19 times
    Pointing to another statutory provision and reasoning that "it is clear that the General Assembly knew how to create such a [certification] requirement, and chose not to"

    Hayes has not caused the warrant to be placed in the record on appeal, and does not show that the trial court erred in determining that the search warrant had been properly sworn to before the issuing judge and that there was thus no basis for any objection. Accordingly, Hayes fails to meet his burden to show error. Id. See also State v. Sutton, 297 Ga. 222, 223 fn. 3, 773 S.E.2d 222 (2015). In his brief in this Court, Hayes abandons any claim that the warrant was issued after the search, conceding that the apparent discrepancy in times that he had alleged was a scrivener's error.
