Supreme Court of Georgia

State v. Harper.

February 19, 2018810 S.E.2d 484

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia held that a locked entry door to a residence provides reasonable and sufficiently explicit notice that entry is forbidden under OCGA §16‑7‑21(b)(2), reversing the Court of Appeals’ finding that no notice was given. The Court clarified that notice need not be express, and disapproved prior appellate decisions requiring express notice.
