Preface
from our Author
Georgia Law
Update grew out of annual presentations on new criminal case
law to my colleagues on the State Court bench in Georgia.
Collecting those
 materials,
I have attempted to create a survey of Georgia criminal law
since 1999 which deals with all issues of criminal law –
substance, procedure, evidence, and constitutional issues –
in the trial court.
My goal is to report any significant holding of every reported
criminal case from the Georgia Court of Appeals and Supreme
Court and, where applicable, the federal courts. I attempt
to concisely state those holdings, with any relevant facts,
where possible quoting from the case. The user can thus know
that the case has been accurately reported, and may be able to
use those quotes in orders, motions or briefs. I try to make
appropriate cross-references and comparisons to cases on
related subjects (including cases which may not reference one
another.) Issues which arise solely on appeal or on petition for
habeas corpus are beyond the scope of this work. Issues unique
to juvenile proceedings currently are beyond the scope, as are
forfeiture proceedings related to criminal prosecutions.
I am grateful to my colleagues for their kind encouragement in
this undertaking, as well as their helpful suggestions and
comments.
I am most grateful, however, to my wife Sherri for her unfailing
love and support.
---Ben W. Studdard
III, Chief Judge
State Court of Henry County, Georgia
