Ware v. State

Supreme Court of Georgia

1Opinion of the Court

Grant, Justice.

Appellant Robert Ware was found guilty of felony murder and other crimes in connection with the December 2015 shooting death of his wife, Michelle Ware.1 On appeal, Ware asserts that the evidence at trial was insufficient to support his felony murder conviction, and that the trial court erred in denying his request for a jury instruction on voluntary manslaughter and in allowing the State to introduce a piece of "other acts" evidence under OCGA § 24-4-404 (b). Because we find no reversible error, we affirm.
