Goodman v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed Goodman’s convictions for felony murder, aggravated assault, and related offenses, holding that the evidence was sufficient for a rational trier of fact to find guilt. The Court also held that Goodman did not unambiguously invoke his Miranda right to remain silent, so his later statement was admissible. However, the Court vacated the ten-year sentence for the tampering count as void and remanded for resentencing.
