Murdock v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseAdrian Murdock was tried by jury and convicted of murder with malice aforethought, the unlawful possession of a firearm by a first-offender probationer, and the unlawful possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, all in connection with the 2010 fatal shooting of Breon Sims. Murdock appealed, contending that the trial court erred when it declined to grant a new trial on the general grounds, when it refused his request at trial to excuse an empaneled juror for cause, and when it admitted evidence of his sister’s statements to law enforcement officers. Finding no error, the Supreme Court affirmed.
