Supreme Court of Georgia

Bonner v. State

May 17, 2021311 Ga. 466

Summary

The court affirmed Bonner’s felony-murder conviction, holding that the evidence was sufficient for a rational jury to find that he intentionally committed aggravated assault with a deadly weapon resulting in Moses’s death. The court also held that the trial court properly refused to instruct the jury on accident because, apart from Bonner’s conclusory statement, the evidence did not show an absence of criminal intent or criminal negligence. No separate opinions were filed.
