Randolph v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseJames Randolph was convicted by jury of malice murder, armed robbery, and other crimes in connection with the 2000 armed robbery of Carlos Torres and Dennis Dixon and the shooting death of Rodney Castlin. On appeal, Randolph argued the evidence was insufficient to support his convictions because the State failed to corroborate the testimony of an accomplice and that the trial court erred in admitting evidence of two other acts under OCGA § 24-4-404 (b). Because the Georgia Supreme Court concluded that the accomplice’s testimony was sufficiently corroborated by other evidence admitted at trial, that the trial court did not err in admitting one prior incident of armed robbery, and that any error in admitting the other incident (a home burglary) was harmless, the judgment of conviction was affirmed.
