DeCoteau v. State

Court of Appeals of Georgia

Decided February 23, 2010No. A09A2074PublishedCited by 2 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

Barnes, Judge.

David Mark Decoteau appeals his convictions of burglary, aggravated assault, kidnapping, entering an automobile with the intent to commit theft, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime. Decoteau contends the evidence was insufficient to sustain his convictions, and that the trial court should have granted his motion for a new trial because his estranged wife was a member of the grand jury that indicted him. For the reasons that follow, we reverse his kidnapping conviction for insufficient evidence but affirm the remaining convictions.
