Torres v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed Torres’s convictions and sentences for felony murder and related offenses. It held that the evidence was sufficient, that his roadside statement was obtained without a custodial interrogation and that all three statements were voluntary and not induced by a prohibited hope of benefit. The court declined to reach the merits of Torres’s double-jeopardy challenge to the retrial on the counts resulting in his convictions because he failed to preserve that claim. No separate opinions were filed.
