McWilliams v. Georgia

Appellant Richard McWilliams appealed his convictions relating to the beating death of his girlfriend Kathleen Baxter. McWilliams challenged the sufficiency of the evidence presented at trial for the various convictions, and the trial court committed multiple procedural errors, including the improper admission of extrinsic evidence, and in instructing the jury. Finding no reversible error, the Georgia Supreme Court affirmed McWilliams’ convictions. View "McWilliams v. Georgia" on Justia Law
