Supreme Court of Georgia
Carter v. State
October 2, 2017302 Ga. 200
Summary
The court affirmed Carter’s convictions for malice murder, armed robbery, and burglary, holding that the evidence was sufficient and that the challenged recordings were properly admitted or did not warrant reversal. The non-testifying participant’s statements were admitted for context rather than their truth, and Carter’s confrontation claim therefore failed. Any error concerning authentication and related testimony about the jail telephone recording was unpreserved and did not satisfy plain-error review.
