Supreme Court of Georgia

Favors v. the State.

March 4, 2019825 S.E.2d 164

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed the trial court's denial of a motion for new trial, holding that the admission of a graphic photograph of the victim was proper under Rule 403 and that the trial court did not err in refusing to give an immediate sympathy instruction after a witness’s emotional outburst. The court found no abuse of discretion on either issue.
