Supreme Court of Georgia

Cheeves v. the State.

August 5, 2019831 S.E.2d 829

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed Kendrick Cheeves' conviction for malice murder, holding that the trial court did not err in refusing to give a jury instruction on involuntary manslaughter because the evidence demonstrated a felony aggravated assault rather than reckless conduct. The Court also reviewed the sufficiency of the evidence and found it adequate to support the verdict.
