Supreme Court of Georgia
Smith v. the State.
December 10, 2018822 S.E.2d 220
Summary
The court affirmed Smith's convictions, rejecting his claim that the evidence was insufficient to submit the false-imprisonment charge to the jury and to support the resulting verdict. Evidence that Smith modified the residence with locks and sealed windows, admitted that he prevented Cheyenne from leaving, and told another inmate that he kept her locked inside supported the conviction. The court also independently determined that the evidence was sufficient for the remaining convictions.
