Supreme Court of Georgia

Williams v. the Stat

February 7, 2023315 Ga. 490

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed Antonio Lafonta Williams's convictions for felony murder and firearm possession, holding that the admission of cell‑site location information obtained via a warrant lacking particularity was not plain error and that the trial court’s failure to give an accomplice‑corroboration instruction did not constitute plain error. The Court reasoned that Williams failed to show a clear or obvious Fourth Amendment violation or that the alleged jury instruction error affected his substantial rights.
