Supreme Court of Georgia

Eggleston v. State

September 28, 2020309 Ga. 888

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed James Eggleston’s convictions for felony murder and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, holding that the evidence presented at trial was sufficient under due process standards. The Court also held that Eggleston’s challenge to the aggravated‑assault counts was moot because those counts merged into the felony‑murder conviction.
