Adkins v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseMarion Adkins, Jr. was convicted by jury of malice murder and other crimes in connection with the 2019 shooting death of Latisha Gresham. He appealed, contending that the circumstantial evidence presented at trial failed to exclude all other reasonable hypotheses, such as the commission of the crime by some unknown assailant or Gresham’s possible suicide, and was therefore insufficient to support his conviction. Adkins also argued that the trial court erred by not instructing the jury on “grave suspicion.” Finding no reversible error, the Georgia Supreme Court affirmed.
