Supreme Court of Georgia
Taylor v. State
October 15, 2025
Summary
The court affirmed Taylor’s convictions, rejecting challenges to Facebook and cell-phone evidence obtained under warrants allegedly lacking probable cause. The Facebook challenge was reviewed for plain error because the probable-cause objection was not raised until the motion for new trial, and Taylor failed to show prejudice; any error concerning the cell-phone records was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt because the evidence was cumulative and the remaining evidence of guilt was substantial. The court also found no demonstrated prejudice from any cumulative evidentiary error.
