Supreme Court of Georgia

State v. Shropshire

December 19, 2023318 Ga. 14

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia held that a unit‑of‑prosecution analysis applies to determine whether multiple counts of child molestation merge, while a required‑evidence analysis applies to determine whether child molestation merges into aggravated child molestation, vacating the Court of Appeals' merger ruling on the latter and remanding for reconsideration.
