Miller v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed Miller’s convictions and sentences, holding that the trial court did not commit reversible plain error by admitting evidence of two prior incidents involving Miller and his wife. The evidence was relevant to motive and the nature of the relationship, its probative value was not substantially outweighed by unfair prejudice, and the State presented sufficient proof connecting Miller to the May 2018 incident. The court also held that the trial court implicitly ruled on admissibility as to the aggravated-assault charge involving Morris and that Miller failed to show any presumed error affected the outcome.
