Thompson v. State

1 Citing case

  1. Spires v. State

    357 Ga. App. 440 (Ga. Ct. App. 2020)   Cited 5 times
    Holding that several child-molestation charges did not merge for sentencing purposes when "the various sexual contact occurred over an extended period of time; [the victim] testified that the sexual abuse occurred daily, including the time that she and [the defendant] had ‘run away; together, and that she could not recall the number of times that she had performed oral sex on [the defendant]"

    Because Spires did not raise a fatal variance claim before the trial court, this argument is waived on appeal. See Thompson v. State , 324 Ga. App. 20, 21, 749 S.E.2d 27 (2013) ("Thompson did not raise his fatal variance argument in the trial court and has therefore waived the issue for consideration on appeal."). To the extent Spires challenges the sufficiency of the evidence, ample evidence authorized Spires’ conviction.
