Bowman v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed Torry Bowman’s convictions for malice murder and related offenses, holding that the jury instructions on party to a crime, conspiracy, and provocation by words alone were proper, that the stipulation requirement for the firearm‑possession element complied with OCGA § 16‑11‑133, and that no cumulative prejudice was shown. The Court rejected Bowman’s arguments and affirmed the judgment and sentence.
