Supreme Court of Georgia

Mizell v. the State.

December 10, 2018822 S.E.2d 211

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed Mizell’s conviction, holding that the search warrant for his apartment was supported by probable cause based on the proximity of the victim’s body, blood‑stained items, and Mizell’s own statements, and therefore the motion to suppress was denied. The Court applied a deferential standard of review to the magistrate’s finding of probable cause and found the evidence admissible.
