Miller v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseRobert Miller was tried by jury and found guilty of malice murder, aggravated assault, and associated firearms charges in connection with the shooting death of Antonio Robinson, and the shootings of Martaveous Lawrence, and Christopher Sheppard. On appeal, Miller contended the trial court committed plain error in excusing a juror, who was found to be communicating privately with the presiding judge’s secretary, without first conducting a hearing to determine the circumstances of the contact, the impact on the juror, and whether the contact was prejudicial to Miller. Finding no reversible error, the Georgia Supreme Court vacated in part to correct a sentencing error, but otherwise affirmed conviction.
