Hinton v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseAppellant Lamontez Hinton was convicted of malice murder and other crimes related to the 2014 shooting death of Kilon Williams and the armed robbery of Williams’s friend Nicholas Gibson. Appellant contended the evidence presented at his trial was legally insufficient to support his convictions, and that the trial court should have granted him a new trial under the “thirteenth juror” standard. The Georgia Supreme Court found those contentions had no merit, so the Court affirmed Appellant’s convictions except for his conviction for the aggravated assault of Gibson, which was vacate because it should have merged into Appellant’s conviction for the armed robbery of Gibson.
