Johnson v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseAppellant Corrick Johnson was tried before a jury on charges of malice murder, felony murder (two counts), aggravated assault, and false imprisonment, in the death of Latresh Brown. He appealed, claiming, among other things, that the trial court erred in failing to merge the aggravated assault conviction with the murder conviction and that the court erred in its instructions to the jury. The Supreme Court agreed with Johnson that the failure to merge was error and therefore vacated his conviction for aggravated assault. The Court affirmed in all other respects.
