Raines v. State

Summary

The court affirmed Raines's felony convictions because the evidence sufficiently established venue in Upson County and corroborated accomplice testimony, and it found no plain error in the omitted corroboration instruction or the handling of recorded materials. It reversed the misdemeanor obstruction convictions for insufficient proof of venue, while holding that the evidence otherwise supported those charges and that retrial was permissible. The court also vacated Raines's sentence and remanded for resentencing under the governing sentencing requirements.
