Garay v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed Hector Garay’s convictions for malice murder, criminal attempt to commit armed robbery, and possession of a firearm during a felony, holding that the evidence presented was sufficient to support the jury’s verdicts beyond a reasonable doubt. The Court applied the constitutional due‑process standard for sufficiency of the evidence and concluded that the presence of direct testimony negated the need to apply the circumstantial‑evidence statute.
