Dupree v. Georgia
Annotate this Case
Appellant Caesar Dupree appealed his convictions for malice murder and two counts of felony murder for the shooting death of John Darrisaw. Dupree's sole argument on appeal challenged the sufficiency of the evidence to support his convictions: the evidence showed he acted in self-defense, or, at most, the evidence supported only a conviction of voluntary manslaughter. The Supreme Court found that the evidence was sufficient to enable a rational trier of fact to find appellant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt for malice murder as well as the felony murder counts of the indictment.
