Mayfield v. State
Supreme Court of Georgia
1Opinion of the Court
Hines, Justice.
Pierre Mayfield appeals his convictions for felony murder, aggravated assault, and burglary in connection with the fatal shooting of Demetrius Holder and the wounding of Stanley Holder. He contends *325that the trial court inappropriately interfered with the deliberative process of the jury thereby denying his right to a fair trial and due process of law, and that the trial court erred by giving the jury an Allen1 charge. Finding that the contentions fail to provide a basis for the reversal of Mayfield’s convictions, we affirm.2
