Supreme Court of Georgia

Hopwood v. State

November 4, 2019307 Ga. 305

Summary

The court affirmed Hopwood's murder conviction, holding that the evidence was sufficient for a rational jury to find beyond a reasonable doubt that she intentionally shot the victim. It also upheld admission of Hopwood's recorded statement because the record supported the trial court's finding that she knowingly waived her rights and spoke freely and voluntarily despite emotional distress, some alcohol consumption, and fatigue.
