Bradley v. Georgia
Annotate this Case
Defendant-Appellant Tobee Bradley was tried by jury and convicted of murder, aggravated assault, armed robbery, and three counts of possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime. He appealed, contending that the evidence was insufficient to sustain his convictions and that several of the crimes of which he was convicted should have merged. Defendant also claimed that the trial court erred when it excluded evidence that others might have been involved in the crimes, when it allowed an audio recording of a conversation between Defendant and a police informant to go out with the jury during its deliberations, and when it admitted the prior consistent statements of the police informant. Furthermore, Defendant contended that he was denied the effective assistance of counsel at trial. Upon review of the record and briefs, the Supreme Court concluded that the trial court erred with respect to merger, and for that reason, the Court vacated the convictions and sentences for aggravated assault and one count of possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime. Otherwise, the Court found no other error.
