Moran v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed appellant Misty Sunshine Moran’s convictions for malice murder and related offenses, holding that the evidence was sufficient to support a finding of implied malice and that photographs of her cell‑phone texts were admissible because she had waived Fourth Amendment rights as a probationer. The Court also affirmed the trial court’s admission of the photographs, finding reasonable suspicion justified the warrantless search.
