Golden v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseMalik Golden appealed his conviction for felony murder for the death of Donell Hawkins during an attempted robbery. Golden argued the evidence was insufficient to support the verdict. He also challenged the trial court’s admission of his custodial statement on the ground that it was not made freely and voluntarily. And he argued the court erred in admitting hearsay evidence and in denying his motion for a mistrial when his co-indictee testified that Golden had committed a previous robbery. After review of the trial court record, the Georgia Supreme Court determined the evidence was sufficient to support Golden’s conviction and the trial court committed no reversible error. Judgment was affirmed.
