Dorsey v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseShakeim Dorsey appealed his convictions for malice murder and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony in connection with the shooting death of Derickes Miles. Dorsey argued on appeal: (1) that the evidence was insufficient to support his convictions; (2) the trial court erroneously allowed the medical examiner to testify about matters outside his area of knowledge; and (3) the trial court erroneously admitted a witness’s prior consistent statements. The Georgia Supreme Court affirmed because: (1) the evidence was sufficient to support Dorsey’s convictions; (2) Dorsey invited any error regarding the medical examiner’s testimony; and (3) the witness’s prior consistent statements became admissible after Dorsey suggested that the witness had fabricated his testimony.
