Meadows v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed Roden Meadows's convictions for malice murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm, finding the evidence sufficient and rejecting his claim that the appellate court could act as a “thirteenth juror.” The Court also held that the trial court’s failure to rebuke certain prosecutorial statements was either harmless or not required, and it vacated the separate sentence on the aggravated assault count, remanding for resentencing.
