Kirby v. Georgia

Appellant Phillip Scott Kirby, Sr. was convicted of malice murder in connection with the stabbing death of Emily Mason. On appeal, he argued that his conviction should be reversed because: (1) the trial court erred in admitting custodial statements he made to GBI agents; (2) erred in admitting hearsay testimony about a marking on his wedding ring; and (3) erred in admitting evidence of other crimes he had committed. Finding no reversible error, the Georgia Supreme Court affirmed Kirby’s convictions. View "Kirby v. Georgia" on Justia Law
