Supreme Court of Georgia

Williams v. State

October 2, 2017302 Ga. 147

Summary

The court affirmed Williams's malice-murder conviction and life-without-parole sentence. It held that the evidence was legally sufficient and that any error in excluding toxicology evidence, admitting prior-acts evidence, or permitting a prosecution demonstration was not reversible. The toxicology claim was also subject to plain-error review because Williams did not preserve the theory advanced on appeal.
