Supreme Court of Georgia

Graves v. the State.

March 15, 2018812 S.E.2d 290

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed Graves' convictions, holding that the trial court's striking of alibi testimony without the required notice and without a curative jury instruction was harmless error given the overwhelming evidence of guilt. The Court noted that although notice under OCGA § 17‑16‑5 was required, any error did not affect the verdict and required no further remedial instruction.
