Basulto v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseJose Basulto appealed his convictions for felony murder and aggravated assault stemming from an incident in which he drove his truck into several pedestrians after a bar fight. Basulto’s actions resulted in the deaths of two of the pedestrians, and left a third seriously injured. Basulto’s only argument on appeal was that the trial court erred by refusing to remove a juror who revealed new information about the juror’s criminal history after being selected for the jury. Because it found the trial court did not abuse its discretion in failing to remove the juror, the Georgia Supreme Court affirmed.
