Carston v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseAppellant Jerry Carston was convicted of malice murder and related firearm and gang crimes after he shot and killed Quinton Williams, who had left Appellant’s gang. On appeal, Appellant argued the trial court erred by supposedly preventing his counsel from questioning one of the State’s witnesses about pending felony charges and by admitting into evidence a video recording of a gang beating of Williams that did not involve Appellant. After review, the Georgia Supreme Court concluded Appellant did not show the trial court imposed any unreasonable limitation on questioning the State’s witness and that the video was properly admitted. Accordingly, Appellant's convictions were affirmed.
