Bun v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseA jury found appellant Veasa Bun guilty of malice murder and other crimes in connection with the 2011 shooting death of Sheriff’s Deputy Richard Daly. Bun, who was seventeen years old at the time the crimes were committed, was sentenced to life without parole plus an additional seventy years of imprisonment.

Finding no reversible error, the Georgia Supreme Court affirmed.
