Montgomery v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseAppellant Gregory Montgomery challenged his 2019 convictions for malice murder and other crimes in connection with the shooting death of Justuss Rogers. Appellant argued the trial court erred in its recharge to the jury after the jury sent the court a note during deliberations and that the court should have granted him a new trial under the “thirteenth juror” standard. After review, the Georgia Supreme Court found the trial court did not err in its recharge to the jury, and Appellant’s “thirteenth juror” claim was wholly without merit. Accordingly, the convictions were affirmed.
