Supreme Court of Georgia

State v. Hylton

March 18, 2025321 Ga. 292

Summary

The court affirmed the trial court’s order granting Hylton immunity from prosecution for the shooting of Davenport. It held that the order was sufficient for appellate review even without express factual findings and that the evidence supported the implicit finding that Hylton reasonably believed deadly force was necessary to prevent death or great bodily injury. All the Justices concurred.
