Geiger v. Georgia
Annotate this Case
Appellant Richard Geiger was sentenced to life imprisonment after he was convicted for the felony murder of his live-in girlfriend, predicated upon aggravated assault by stabbing, plus five years to serve consecutively for possession of a knife during the commission of a crime. He appealed on the ground that his arrest on his mother’s property, along with evidence seized at the time of his arrest and statements made as a result of his arrest, should have been suppressed. He also complains that prosecutorial misconduct required a mistrial. Finding no reversible error, the Supreme Court affirmed.
