Moore v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseCornelius Moore was tried by jury and convicted of murder and several other crimes, all in connection with the killing of Jezreel Hammond. Moore appealed, arguing that the trial court erred with respect to the admission of certain evidence at trial. The Supreme Court found no reversible error with respect to the evidence admitted at trial, but concluded, however, that the trial court did err when it convicted Moore of three distinct counts of unlawful possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. The Court therefore vacated the conviction and sentence as to one count of possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, and otherwise affirmed the Moore’s conviction and sentence.
