Saylor v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed Saylor’s convictions and sentences after concluding that the evidence supported his liability as a party to the crimes, the joint trial was not shown to have caused constitutionally significant prejudice, and the challenged juror excusals did not result in an incompetent or biased jury. The court also held that the Street Gang Act conviction was supported because the verdict identified predicate offenses, including convictions that were neither merged nor vacated.
