Thompson v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed Thompson’s conviction for felony murder, holding that the trial court did not err in admitting other‑acts testimony under OCGA § 24‑4‑404(b) and did not err in refusing to apply the rule of sequestration to the victim’s children who testified. The Court found the evidence sufficient to support the jury’s verdict and applied the appropriate abuse‑of‑discretion standard to the evidentiary rulings.
