Brown v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseAppellant Melvin Brown Jr. was tried and convicted of murder and related offenses committed against Javious Tucker and Cyntrelis Boggs. Brown appealed, claiming that the evidence was insufficient to support his convictions, that he received ineffective assistance of counsel, that other acts evidence was erroneously admitted at trial, and that the trial court erroneously failed to grant Brown’s motion for a mistrial. Because the Georgia Supreme Court found the trial court committed reversible error by admitting Brown’s other acts evidence, it reversed and remanded for a new trial.
