Supreme Court of Georgia

Durden v. State

March 19, 2024318 Ga. 729

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed Durden’s felony‑murder conviction and most sentences, but vacated the separate armed‑robbery conviction and sentence because the predicate felony merges into felony murder, and it held that alleged evidentiary and jury‑instruction errors were harmless under the plain‑error standard.
