Supreme Court of Georgia

Manning v. the State.

May 21, 2018814 S.E.2d 730

Summary

The court affirmed Manning's convictions, holding that the evidence was sufficient for the jury to reject his self-defense claim. It further held that any error in admitting prior-acts evidence was harmless, and that the challenged jury instructions did not constitute plain error when considered as a whole. The court also concluded that the instructions adequately directed the jury to decide each count separately.
