Supreme Court of Georgia

Kessler v. State

May 3, 2021311 Ga. 607

Summary

The court affirmed Kessler's convictions, holding that his custodial confession was voluntary because no alleged promise actually induced it. It also held that the trial court properly denied a mistrial after corrective instructions addressed the prosecutor's closing-argument comments, correctly gave the challenged criminal-negligence instruction, and had no errors to assess cumulatively. No separate opinions were filed.
