Supreme Court of Georgia

McCoy v. State

February 7, 2023315 Ga. 536

Summary

The court affirmed McCoy’s convictions, holding that the crime-scene technician’s fingerprint testimony was based on personal knowledge and therefore was not hearsay. The court also held that the evidence was constitutionally and statutorily sufficient to establish McCoy’s participation as a party to the crimes, including through circumstantial evidence and his presence, companionship, and conduct before, during, and after the offenses.
