Ford v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseAppellant Marcus Ford appealed his convictions stemming from the shooting deaths of Paul Gaines and Michael Gaines, as well as the aggravated assaults of Isaac Walker and Antwan Clark. The Supreme Court concluded after review that the evidence introduced at trial was sufficient to authorize a rational trier of fact to find appellant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of the crimes for which he was convicted. However, the trial court made a sentencing error when it sentenced appellant for the aggravated assaults. The Supreme Court vacated the sentence and remanded for resentencing.
