Moore v. Georgia
Annotate this Case
In the first appeal of defendant Calvin Moore's conviction for malice murder, the Supreme Court concluded that the evidence was sufficient to support the conviction, but vacated the trial court's judgment and remanded the case for a hearing on similar transaction evidence under the Uniform Superior Court Rule 31.3B(B). The trial court concluded that the similar transaction evidence was properly admitted and reinstated the judgment of conviction. Because the trial court did not abuse its discretion in concluding the State's evidence was properly admitted at trial and that there were no other errors, the Supreme Court affirmed defendant's conviction.
