Supreme Court of Georgia

Saxton v. State

December 14, 2021313 Ga. 48

Summary

The court affirmed the convictions because any error in admitting the lead investigator's opinion about the path of a bullet was harmless. The bullet's path could be inferred from the surveillance video, the challenged testimony was brief and peripheral, and the properly admitted evidence strongly established guilt while providing little support for the defendant's self-defense and voluntary-manslaughter claims.
