Supreme Court of Georgia

Powell v. the State (two Cases)

April 30, 2024318 Ga. 875

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia reversed the trial court’s denial of the general demurrers, holding that the indictment charging former police officers with oath‑of‑office violations for alleged Brady violations does not sufficiently allege a crime and therefore cannot withstand a general demurrer. The Court also found that the alleged conduct does not satisfy the elements of a Brady violation, so the indictment cannot support the oath‑of‑office charge.
