Supreme Court of Georgia

Winslow v. State

November 2, 2022

Summary

The court affirmed Winslow’s convictions, holding that the record supported a finding that he consented to a forensic search of his laptop, including a search conducted 14 months after seizure. It rejected his facial cruel-and-unusual-punishment challenge to the statutory sentencing scheme because the sentencing parameters were not grossly disproportionate to the offense. The court vacated the sentences and remanded for resentencing because all counts based on Winslow’s simultaneous possession of the two videos had to be merged.
