Collett v. Georgia

by
Shane Collett appealed his convictions for malice murder and concealing the death of another in connection with the 2012 death of nine-year-old Skylar Dials. Collett challenged the sufficiency of the evidence to support these convictions and argues that the trial court erred by failing to instruct the jury on the lesser-included offense of reckless conduct or on mistake of fact. The Georgia Supreme Court found the evidence was sufficient and the instructions were unwarranted. View "Collett v. Georgia" on Justia Law
