Supreme Court of Georgia

Scott v. State

December 10, 2024320 Ga. 485

Summary

The court affirmed Scott’s convictions, holding that the trial evidence was constitutionally sufficient for a rational juror to find beyond a reasonable doubt that Scott was the shooter. Although the evidence was circumstantial, the jury was authorized to reject the alternative hypotheses that another person committed the shooting or that the shell casing found at Scott’s home was unrelated to the crime.
