Supreme Court of Georgia

Lowe v. State

October 4, 2022314 Ga. 788

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed the trial court’s denial of Lowe’s motion for a new trial, holding that the joinder of the 2015 domestic‑violence offenses with the 2017 murder charges was proper and that Lowe’s claim of ineffective assistance of counsel failed. The Court, however, vacated Lowe’s two felony‑murder convictions and remanded for resentencing because a single victim cannot support multiple felony‑murder convictions.
