Winslow v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseWilliam Winslow was convicted on four counts of sexual exploitation of children in connection with his possession of two videos depicting children engaged in sexually explicit conduct. The videos were found on his laptop computer by law enforcement. On appeal, Winslow: (1) argued the trial court erred by denying his motion to suppress evidence obtained from a search of his laptop; (2) made facial and as-applied challenges to the sentencing scheme of OCGA § 16-12-100 (f) (1); and (3) contended the trial court erred by failing to merge all counts of the indictment together for sentencing under Edvalson v. Georgia, 849 SE2d 204 (2020). After review, the Georgia Supreme Court affirmed Winslow's convictions, but vacated the sentence and remanded for resentencing: the trial court should have sentenced Winslow on only one count and merged the remaining counts for sentencing.
