Supreme Court of Georgia

Ware v. the State.

March 11, 2019826 S.E.2d 56

Summary

The court affirmed Ware's felony-murder conviction, holding that the trial court's instructions adequately conveyed the causation principles relevant to felony murder and that no separate proximate-cause instruction was required. It also held that the trial court acted within its broad discretion in replacing a juror during deliberations because the juror faced a prearranged travel conflict and expressed a desire to be excused. No separate opinions were filed.
