Smith v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseAppellant Luther Smith, Jr. was convicted of felony murder and other crimes in connection with the February 2007 death of fifteen-month-old Deandra Turner. Smith appealed, arguing the evidence presented against him at trial was insufficient to sustain his conviction, and the trial court erred in admitting certain expert testimony. Because the evidence was sufficient to enable a jury to determine that Smith was guilty of the crimes for which he was convicted, and because the testimony in question was admissible, the Georgia Supreme Court affirmed.
