Rammage v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseAppellant Johnny Rammage was convicted of malice murder and a firearm offense in connection with the shooting death of Chris Johnson. On appeal, he argued the trial court erred: (1) by not allowing him to introduce evidence of Johnson’s prior acts of violence; (2) by declining to give jury instructions on justification and accident; and (3) by admitting evidence of his prior conviction. Appellant also contended his trial counsel provided ineffective assistance by not objecting to the court’s failure to give the jury instructions. After review of the record and the briefs, the Georgia Supreme Court found no reversible error and affirmed.
