Supreme Court of Georgia

State v. Mondor and Vice Versa.

June 28, 2019830 S.E.2d 206

Summary

The court reversed dismissal of the indictment because the hit-and-run count alleged the statutory knowledge requirement and otherwise included the elements necessary to withstand a general demurrer. It affirmed exclusion of evidence that the victim was not wearing a seatbelt because such evidence is generally irrelevant to causation in a criminal case, without reaching the statute's constitutional application or its applicability to criminal proceedings. The court did not review the vagueness challenges because the trial court had not distinctly ruled on them.
