Carpenter v. Georgia

Benjamin Carpenter was tried by jury and convicted of murder and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony in connection with the 2016 fatal shooting of Lucio Vasquez. Carpenter appealed, contending the trial court erred in its resolution of certain evidentiary issues and in its charge to the jury. After review of the record and briefs, the Georgia Supreme Court found no merit in these claims of error, and affirmed. View "Carpenter v. Georgia" on Justia Law
