Menzies v. the State.

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed Christina Menzies' convictions for felony murder, attempted armed robbery, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm, and giving a false statement. The Court held that the evidence was sufficient to support each conviction, that Menzies was a party to the crimes and a proximate cause of her sister's death, and that her ineffective‑assistance and suppression claims failed. The Court also ruled that her spontaneous statements to her deceased sister were admissible because she had no reasonable expectation of privacy and was not subject to Miranda interrogation.
