Supreme Court of Georgia

Taylor v. the State.

May 7, 2018814 S.E.2d 353

Summary

The court affirmed Taylor's malice-murder conviction, holding that the evidence permitted the jury to find both an implied intent to kill and proximate causation beyond a reasonable doubt. It also held that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying a change of venue or clearly err in rejecting Taylor's Batson challenge. The court declined to consider additional arguments that were not included in Taylor's enumerations of error or were not preserved below.
