Supreme Court of Georgia

Major v. State

May 15, 2017

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed the trial court’s judgment that the former version of OCGA § 16‑11‑37(a) is constitutional, rejecting the appellant’s overbreadth, vagueness, and as‑applied challenges. The Court applied a de novo review and held that the statute’s reckless mens rea satisfies the true‑threat requirement and gives adequate notice.
