Reddings v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseAppellant Michael Reddings was convicted of murder, aggravated assault, and two weapons possession counts in connection with the 2009 stabbing death of Daisy Pearl Brown. Appellant appealed the denial of his motion for new trial, contending that the trial court committed reversible error by failing to merge the aggravated assault conviction with the murder conviction and by denying his motion for change of venue. Upon review, the Supreme Court agreed that the failure to merge was error, and therefore vacated his convictions for aggravated assault and the related weapons possession count. In all other respects, the Court affirmed the trial court’s judgment.
