Nelson v. State

Marshall, Presiding Justice.

Eric Robert Nelson was indicted for murder, aggravated battery, two counts of aggravated assault, and theft by taking in Fulton Superior Court; he was found guilty but mentally ill at the time of the crime. See OCGA § 17-7-131 (b) (1) (D).

1. On appeal, the appellant contends that the verdict is not supported by sufficient evidence and that no rational trier of fact could have found that the appellant failed to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that he was insane and/or suffering under a delusional compulsion at the time of the offenses.
