What is the most dangerous city in Georgia? A recent crime analysis offers a surprising answer. Learn how Georgia classifies criminal intent and the defenses available in criminal cases.
The Georgia Court of Appeals has upheld the conviction of Tony Robinson, who was found guilty in Clayton County after a domestic dispute turned violent. Robinson threw a concrete slab through his girlfriend’s windshield while her young son was inside the car, claiming he acted in self-defense.
The trial court found insufficient evidence to support his self-defense claim, citing testimony from the victim and her son that she never attempted to hit him with her car. The Court of Appeals affirmed the conviction, agreeing that “credibility issues” are the jury’s responsibility and that evidence of Robinson’s prior legal troubles was properly admitted.
