Dunn v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseIn August 2012, a jury found Justin Dunn guilty of malice murder, felony murder, armed robbery, aggravated assault, and three counts of possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony in connection with the shooting death of Marquette Maurice Woods, armed robbery of Ricarlos Butler, and aggravated assault on Ruben Johnson. Dunn was sentenced to life imprisonment plus 55 years. His amended motion for new trial was denied. He appealed, arguing only that the trial court erred in granting the State’s challenge to a defense jury strike pursuant to Georgia v. McCollum, 505 U. S. 42 (1992). Finding no reversible error, the Georgia Supreme Court affirmed Dunn’s conviction.
