Supreme Court of Georgia

Brock v. State

September 17, 2024319 Ga. 765

Summary

The Court affirmed Brock’s convictions, holding that the trial evidence was constitutionally sufficient for the jury to reject his self-defense theory. The Court held that the trial court’s denial of the general-grounds motion for new trial was not reviewable and that Brock’s challenge to the prosecutor’s closing argument was unpreserved because he failed to object. It also held that the jury-selection procedures complied with the governing statute and jury-composition rule and did not violate Brock’s constitutional rights.
