Annotate this CaseThe Georgia Supreme Court granted the State’s petition for certiorari review of the Court of Appeals’ decision to reverse appellee Roderick Springer’s convictions for aggravated assault and involuntary manslaughter (based on reckless conduct) on the ground that these verdicts were mutually exclusive. After reviewing the record and pertinent case law, the Court held that under the facts of this case, the jury’s guilty verdicts were not mutually exclusive and reversed the judgment of the Court of Appeals. By this judgment, the Court overruled its decision in "Jackson v. Georgia," (577 SE2d 570) (2003)).
