Watts v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseRonregus Watts challenged his 2008 convictions for felony murder and other crimes in connection with the 2006 shooting death of Thomas Vinson. Watts contended: (1) the evidence presented at trial was legally insufficient to support his convictions; and (2) that the trial court erred in denying his motion to suppress his statement to the police and physical and testimonial evidence obtained as a result of his statement. The Georgia Supreme Court found, when properly viewed in the light most favorable to the jury’s verdicts, the evidence was sufficient to support Watts' convictions, and the trial court did not err in denying his motion to suppress. Accordingly, the convictions were affirmed.
