Supreme Court of Georgia

McCoy v. State

June 16, 2026

Summary

The Court affirmed the denial of McCoy’s pretrial immunity motion because the hearing evidence did not establish by a preponderance of the evidence that her use of deadly force was justified. Applying a deferential review of the evidence and credibility determinations, the Court held that the trial court was authorized to reject or discredit McCoy’s account and conclude that she was not entitled to immunity.
