Supreme Court of Georgia

Holloway v. State

January 28, 2025320 Ga. 653

Summary

The Court affirmed Holloway’s convictions for felony murder and related offenses. It held that the evidence was sufficient because Holloway participated in an armed robbery conspiracy, the fatal shooting was a reasonably foreseeable consequence of the inherently dangerous predicate felonies, and felony murder did not require an intent to kill. The Court also held that any instructional omissions were either not plain error or did not affect the trial’s outcome, and that evidence of a closely connected attempted robbery was properly admitted.
