Supreme Court of Georgia

Whited v. State

January 18, 2023

Summary

The court affirmed Whited’s convictions, holding that any omission of an accomplice-corroboration instruction did not constitute plain error because Whited’s own statements corroborated the relevant testimony and the error was not likely outcome-determinative. The court also held that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in admitting a jail recording concerning removal of Dinah from life support because its relevance and probative value were not substantially outweighed by unfair prejudice.
