Brooks v. State

Court of Appeals of Georgia

Decided January 30, 2012No. A11A1816PublishedCited by 7 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

Miller, Judge.

Following a jury trial, Derrick Brooks was convicted of two counts of aggravated stalking (OCGA § 16-5-91 (a)). Brooks filed a motion for new trial, which the trial court denied. On appeal, Brooks contends that the trial court erred by denying his motion for a directed verdict, because the evidence was insufficient to sustain his convictions. He also contends that the trial court erred by excluding or limiting the testimony of certain defense witnesses, and by failing to instruct the jury on lesser included offenses. We discern no error and affirm.
