Reid v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseJameshia Reid appealed the denial of her motion for new trial after a jury found her guilty of malice murder, felony murder, and cruelty to children in the first degree in connection with the death of her three-year-old son, Jakarie Reid. On appeal, she argued the evidence against her was insufficient to support the jury’s verdicts; the trial court erred by admitting a recording of an interview Reid gave to a DFCS investigator at the detective bureau; and that the trial court erred by admitting a jail recording of a telephone conversation between Reid and her mother in which they discussed Reid’s trial strategy. Finding no reversible error, the Georgia Supreme Court affirmed.
