Johnson v. Georgia
Annotate this Case
Paris Leroy Johnson, Jr. was tried by jury and convicted of the murder of Antonio Milton. Following the denial of his motion for new trial, Johnson appealed, contending that the trial court erred when it failed to charge the jury on voluntary manslaughter as a lesser included offense, when it allowed the State to cross-examine him about his failure to come forward and make a statement, and when it admitted testimony that impermissibly placed his character into evidence. Upon its review of the record and briefs, the Supreme Court saw no error and affirmed.
