Lewis v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseAppellant Brandon Lewis was convicted of felony murder and other crimes in connection with the 2007 shooting death of Deonte Hudson. Two years later, appellant was indicted in Fulton County for malice murder, two counts of felony murder, criminal attempt to commit armed robbery, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. The trial court granted Appellant’s motion for a directed verdict of acquittal on the charge of criminal attempt to commit armed robbery and the related felony murder count. The jury then found Appellant not guilty of malice murder but guilty of the remaining charges. The trial court sentenced him to serve life in prison for felony murder based on aggravated assault and five consecutive years for the firearm conviction; the aggravated assault count merged. On appeal, he argued only that the evidence presented at trial did not support his convictions. Finding no reversible error, the Supreme Court affirmed.
