Supreme Court of Georgia

Hernandez v. the State.

January 22, 2019823 S.E.2d 272

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed Hernandez's convictions, holding that venue properly lay in DeKalb County because the county of the body’s discovery was proper where the cause of death could not be readily determined. The Court also clarified that appellate review of venue sufficiency is the same de novo standard applied to sufficiency of guilt.
