Ash v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseJabarri Ash was convicted by jury of malice murder and other crimes arising from the shooting death of Mario Shaw. On appeal, Ash argued the trial court erred by admitting evidence of his prior convictions pursuant to OCGA 24-4-404 (b); that the trial court erred by admitting evidence of certain statements made by Shaw pursuant to OCGA 24-8- 807; that the State improperly destroyed exculpatory evidence; that the trial court plainly erred in its instructions to the jury; and that the cumulative harm of these errors affected the trial’s outcome such that he should receive a new trial. The Georgia Supreme Court concluded there was no reversible error, and affirmed.
