Supreme Court of Georgia

Scott v. State

December 10, 2024320 Ga. 485

Summary

The Court affirmed Scott’s convictions for murder and related crimes, holding that the trial evidence was constitutionally sufficient to allow a rational jury to find him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Although the State’s case was circumstantial and did not identify Scott through direct eyewitness testimony as the shooter, the evidence connected him to the shooting through witness descriptions, his vehicle, his conduct after the shooting, and firearm-ballistics evidence.
