Milford v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseAppellant was convicted of felony murder and armed robbery in connection with the shooting death of Sean Robinson. Appellant's motion for new trial was denied, and he appealed that decision. On appeal, Appellant asserted, inter alia, the trial court violated his constitutional right to confront witnesses by admitting statements made by the victim to the responding officer. Upon review, the Supreme Court concluded that the trial court did not err in admitting the victim's statements. "The statements were made to meet an ongoing emergency and were therefore non-testimonial in nature." Accordingly, the Court affirmed the trial court's denial of his motion for a new trial.
