Charles v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseFred Charles appealed his convictions for malice murder and related offenses in connection with the July 2015 shooting death of Stephanie Daniel. Charles argued: (1) the trial evidence was insufficient to support his convictions; (2) the trial court failed to appropriately question jurors regarding a potential issue of juror irregularity; (3) the trial court erred in denying his pretrial motion to bifurcate the trial and try separately the charges for which his status as a felon was material; and (4) trial counsel was ineffective for failing to object to the State using a felon-in-possession-of-a-firearm charge as a predicate for felony murder. Finding no reversible error, the Georgia Supreme Court affirmed.
