Sconyers v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed Sconyers’s convictions for malice murder and cruelty to children. It held that the asserted errors concerning evidence of prior injuries, the prior-difficulties instruction, hearsay testimony, and impeachment of Finch either were unpreserved and did not constitute plain error or were properly resolved under the applicable evidence rules. All Justices concurred, and no separate opinions were filed.
