Williams v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseErik Albert Williams, Jr. was convicted by jury of malice murder and other crimes in connection with the shooting death of Deangelo Hudgins and the shooting of Albert Gilbert. On appeal, Williams argued: (1) the evidence presented at trial was insufficient as a matter of due process to support his convictions; (2) the trial court erred by failing to grant a new trial when Williams’s accomplice’s guilty plea was admitted into evidence and used substantively against him; and (3) that the trial court abused its discretion by determining that his constitutional right to a speedy trial was not violated. Finding no reversible error, the Georgia Supreme Court affirmed Williams' convictions.
