Remler v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed Justin Remler’s felony‑murder conviction, finding the evidence sufficient under both constitutional due‑process and Georgia statutory standards, and holding that alleged trial‑court errors—including the exclusion of an expert, the proximate‑cause instruction, and the jury‑question response—were either non‑errors or harmless. The Court also rejected Remler’s claim of ineffective assistance of counsel.
