Davis v. Georgia

In May 2009, a jury found Billy Davis, Joseph Andrews, and Tremaine “Dick” Calhoun guilty of malice murder and felony murder in the shooting death of Cornelius Lowe. Davis was sentenced to life imprisonment. His second amended motion for new trial was denied, and he appealed, arguing the trial court erred in admitting a co-defendant’s statement, in the denial of his motion to sever, and by merging rather than vacating his felony murder conviction. Finding no reversible error, the Georgia Supreme Court affirmed Davis’ convictions. View "Davis v. Georgia" on Justia Law
