Williams v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseAppellant Brandon Williams was convicted of malice murder in connection with the February 2016 shooting death of Kavozia Walker. On appeal, Appellant contended: (1) insufficient evidence supported his conviction; (2) the trial court erred in imposing a recidivist sentence of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole, rather than exercising its discretion to consider a life-with-parole sentence for murder; and (3) the trial court erred in merging the felony-murder count into the malice-murder count for sentencing purposes, rather than vacating the felony-murder count by operation of law. Finding no reversible error, the Georgia Supreme Court affirmed.
