Kipp v. Georgia
Annotate this Case
Deanna Kipp appealed her convictions and sentences for four counts of felony murder, one count of involuntary manslaughter, two counts of cruelty to children in the first degree, one count of concealing the death of another, and two counts of making false statements in connection with the abuse and resulting death of her 18-month-old daughter, Kaylee, and the abuse of her two other minor daughters, S.K. and A.K. She contended that the jury’s verdicts of felony murder and its verdict of involuntary manslaughter were mutually exclusive, and that the trial court erred in imposing the sentences she received. Finding no merit to her contentions but that there was error in the sentencing, the Supreme Court affirmed Kipp's convictions and remanded the case to the trial court for resentencing.
