Supreme Court of Georgia

Smallwood v. State

November 12, 2020310 Ga. 445

Summary

The court affirmed Smallwood’s conviction for entering an automobile, holding that the statute was not unconstitutionally vague as applied to his conduct. It also held that the rule of lenity did not require misdemeanor sentencing because the entering-an-automobile statute is more specific than the criminal-trespass statute. No separate opinions were filed.
