Jordan v. Georgia

by
Michael Jordan was convicted of felony murder and related offenses arising out of the shooting death of Stacy Johnson and the aggravated assaults of Rodney Miles and Shatik Bryant. On appeal, Jordan argued: (1) the evidence was insufficient to sustain the verdicts; (2) the trial court erred in admitting certain evidence; (3) he was entitled to a mistrial; and (4) that the trial court should have granted his motion for new trial. Though the Georgia Supreme Court found no reversible error, it did find error in certain aspects of Jordan's sentence. The Court vacated and remanded for resentencing. View "Jordan v.
