State v. Hanna.

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia vacated the ten‑year sentence imposed on Tina Marie Hanna for felony murder because the trial court sentenced her for an offense she was not charged with and misapplied the rule of lenity. The Court held that the rule of lenity does not apply where the statute is unambiguous and that a sentence not authorized by law is void, and it remanded for further proceedings consistent with the law.
