Danenberg v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseIn 2008, a Jones County jury found Appellant Robert Danenberg guilty of malice murder arising out of the 1988 fatal shooting of Deborah Penland Lamb. He appealed, arguing that several rulings made by the trial court constituted reversible error. Among the issues, Appellant contended that the trial court wrongfully denied him the right to represent himself at trial. Further, Appellant contended that the trial court abused its discretion in admitting certain evidence used against him, and denied him the right to testify in his own defense. Upon review of the trial court record, the Supreme Court found no abuse of discretion, and affirmed the trial court's decisions with respect to all issues Appellant raised on appeal.
