Brown v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseAppellant Justin Brown was convicted of felony murder, aggravated battery, kidnapping with bodily injury, aggravated assault, and burglary in connection with the shooting death of J.R. Morrow. Brown's motion for new trial was denied, and he appealed that decision and his conviction and sentence. On appeal, Brown asserted that: (1) the evidence was insufficient to sustain his convictions; (2) the State failed to prove the "asportation" requirement for kidnapping with bodily injury; (3) the State knowingly introduced false testimony in support of its case in chief; and (4) the trial court erred in failing to charge the jury concerning mere approval of an act and withdrawal from a conspiracy. Finding no error, the Supreme Court affirmed Brown's conviction.
