Supreme Court of Georgia

Soto v. the State.

April 16, 2018813 S.E.2d 343

Summary

The court affirmed Soto's convictions, holding that the evidence supported malice murder and aggravated assault and that the requested lesser-offense instructions were unsupported by the evidence or legally unavailable. The court further held that any error involving evidence about the victim's fear of the shooter or Soto's immigration status did not affect the verdict. No separate opinions were filed.
