Supreme Court of Georgia

Turner v. State

December 20, 2022315 Ga. 274

Summary

The court affirmed Turner’s convictions for malice murder and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Applying the constitutional sufficiency standard, the court held that the evidence, viewed favorably to the verdicts, allowed a rational jury to find Turner guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, and it declined to reassess witness credibility. The court relied on eyewitness testimony, Turner’s admissions, physical evidence, and evidence of efforts to influence witnesses.
