Griggs v. Georgia

by
Traevis Griggs appealed his felony murder conviction for the April 2015 shooting death of Jewvyn Glover. Griggs argued on appeal that the trial court erred by convicting him of felony murder instead of voluntary manslaughter when the jury found him guilty of both. Because under Georgia's precedent the trial court did not err by entering a conviction and sentence on the felony murder count, and because the arguments Griggs made for deviation from that precedent were unpersuasive, the Georgia Supreme Court affirmed.
