Pindling v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed Pindling’s convictions for malice murder, armed robbery, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony after his bench retrial. The court held that the evidence was constitutionally sufficient, that the accomplice’s testimony was independently corroborated by more than slight evidence, that the equal-access rule did not apply, and that the circumstantial-evidence statute was inapplicable because the State presented direct evidence of Pindling’s involvement. There were no separate opinions.
