Johnson v. the State Lee v. State

Summary

The court affirmed the malice-murder and related convictions of Johnson and Lee, rejecting challenges to the sufficiency of the evidence, jury selection, mistrial rulings, venue, and jury instructions. It held that the trial court's Batson findings were not clearly erroneous, that the evidence supported the convictions, and that any instructional or evidentiary errors were harmless or otherwise did not require a mistrial.
