Hart v. the State.

April 29, 2019827 S.E.2d 642

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed Hart's felony murder and related convictions, holding that the State proved beyond a reasonable doubt that the shooting was not accidental and that intent to injure is not an element of aggravated assault. The Court relied on the evidence of motive, prior violence, and flight, and applied the established definition of the accident defense.
