Supreme Court of Georgia

Rosser v. State

May 4, 2020308 Ga. 597

Summary

The court affirmed Rosser’s convictions for malice murder and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. It held that the evidence, including Rosser’s inconsistent statements and the evidence of his prior violence and conduct immediately before the shooting, was legally sufficient; that a curative instruction adequately addressed inadmissible hearsay; that his custodial statements were not induced by an impermissible hope of benefit; and that counsel was not ineffective. There were no separate opinions.
