Supreme Court of Georgia

Walter v. the State.

December 10, 2018822 S.E.2d 266

Summary

The court affirmed Walter’s convictions for felony murder and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. It held that the trial court acted within its discretion in refusing to sever Walter’s trial and that the challenged jury instructions did not constitute plain error because the identification-instruction error was unlikely to affect the verdict and the record did not require an accomplice-corroboration instruction.
