Johnson v. Williams

Blackwell, Justice.

In 2006, Terrence Johnson was tried by a Floyd County jury and convicted of armed robbery, aggravated assault with intent to rob, and unlawful possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime. Johnson appealed, and the Court of Appeals affirmed his convictions, but it found that the trial judge failed to exercise his sentencing discretion and remanded the case for resentencing. See Johnson v. State, 285 Ga. App. 590, 591 (3), 646 S.E.2d 760 (2007). Johnson was sentenced to concurrent terms of 20 years (13 years of imprisonment, followed by seven years on probation)…
