Supreme Court of Georgia
McKelvin v. the State.
February 4, 2019305 Ga. 39
Summary
The court affirmed McKelvin’s convictions and sentences, holding that involuntary intoxication is an insanity-type defense requiring pretrial notice and that the court properly compelled disclosure of a court-ordered psychological evaluation. It also held that the trial court acted within its discretion in retaining a juror whose attentiveness was disputed and that any error concerning rap lyrics or a briefly interrupted reference to an inmate-request form was harmless. No separate opinions were filed.
