Ware v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseJermaine Ware was convicted of malice murder and other crimes, with a final disposition being entered by the Superior Court of Polk County, Georgia in December 2012. Ware appealed, and the Georgia Supreme Court affirmed Ware’s convictions on direct appeal. In June 2021, Ware filed a pro se motion in arrest of judgment, alleging, among other things, that the indictment was defective. The superior court denied Ware’s motion, stating that Ware was barred from raising issues that could have been raised on direct appeal. Ware appealed, but the Supreme Court did not consider the merits of Ware’s arguments because the superior court should have dismissed the motion as untimely. Therefore, the Court vacated the trial court’s order and remanded the case with direction.
