Wynn v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed Bobby Leon Wynn's murder convictions, rejecting his six asserted errors concerning impeachment evidence, exclusion of mental‑health testimony, failure to give a lesser‑included involuntary manslaughter instruction, alleged improper legal testimony, the self‑defense excessive‑force charge, and a cumulative‑error claim. The Court held that the trial court’s evidentiary rulings and jury instructions were proper or, where error existed, harmless, and therefore no new trial was warranted.
