Waller v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseAppellant Derain Waller was convicted of felony murder and other crimes in connection with the 2016 shooting death of Demonde Dicks, Jr. On appeal, Appellant contended the evidence was legally insufficient to support his convictions generally and his conviction for armed robbery specifically, and that the trial court erred in sentencing him on the armed robbery and felony murder counts. The Georgia Supreme Court vacated Appellant’s conviction for armed robbery because that conviction should have merged into the felony murder count for sentencing purposed. Otherwise, the Supreme Court found no other error and affirmed in all other respects.
