Greene v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseAppellant Eric Greene was convicted of malice murder and theft by taking in connection with the strangling death of Sheila Bryant in January 2019. On appeal, Greene contended that the evidence was legally insufficient to support his convictions and that the trial court erred: (1) by denying Greene’s motion to suppress his statement taken on February 18, 2019; (2) by admitting improper extrinsic evidence; (3) by admitting overly graphic autopsy photographs; (4) by allowing the State to present harmful and non-probative evidence from Greene’s cell phone showing that he conducted internet searches pertaining to rape; and (5) by failing to instruct the jury on mere presence and corroboration of a defendant’s statement. Finding no reversible error, the Georgia Supreme Court affirmed Greene's convictions.
