Hounkpatin v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed Hounkpatin's felony murder conviction, holding that the circumstantial evidence was sufficient, that the trial court properly admitted other‑acts evidence under Rule 404(b) to prove intent, and that the court did not err in refusing the defendant's motion to introduce evidence of other witnesses' alleged violence. The Court also found any error in admitting additional violent‑act evidence to be harmless.
