Shellman v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed Isaac Antonio Shellman's convictions for malice murder and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, holding that the evidence was sufficient under both constitutional due‑process standards and OCGA § 24‑14‑6, and that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in admitting the victim’s journal under Rule 807. The Court also rejected Shellman's claim that the journal entries lacked trustworthiness or proper authentication.
