Edmunds v. Cowan, 192 Ga. App. 86-4. 374, 626 S.E.2d 579 (2006). 374, 641 S.E.2d 619 (2007). S08C1413, 2008 Ga. LEXIS 914 (Ga. 2008).

Starling v. State, 285 Ga. App. - Because the only evidence before the jury regarding the defendant's status as a convicted felon was the entry of a guilty plea to a crime that could have been either a felony or a misdemeanor, the evidence failed to provide the jury with a sufficient basis for finding that element beyond a reasonable doubt; consequently, the defendant's conviction for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon had to be reversed. Proof of previous felony conviction is necessary element of state's proof under O.C.G.A. 16-3-21(a) and16-11-138 in combination effectively provide this rule of law: A person is justified in threatening or using force against another, or in possessing a weapon in circumstances otherwise prohibited under the Code, when and to the extent that he or she reasonably believes that such threat or force or conduct otherwise prohibited is necessary to defend himself or herself or a third person against such other's imminent use of unlawful force.

Evidence was sufficient to find the defendant guilty of voluntary manslaughter in violation of O.C.G.A. 16-11-131(a)'s definition of a felony created an ambiguity, in that a person of ordinary intelligence could fail to appreciate that the statute intended to encompass any offense with a maximum penalty over 12 months, even if it was called a misdemeanor.

App. There was sufficient evidence to support the defendant's convictions of malice murder, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony; the defendant and the victim lived in the same rooming house where the defendant often intimidated the victim and demanded money from the victim, on the night of the crime the defendant sent the victim to buy crack cocaine and became angry when the victim returned empty-handed, the defendant argued with the victim and shot the victim in the eye, and at the hospital the victim repeatedly declined to say who shot the victim, except to say that a person with a first name other than the defendant's shot the victim accidentally. - Defendant's contention that the evidence was not sufficient to convict defendant of possessing firearms while a convicted felon because the weapons were not tendered into evidence is without merit. 16-11-131(b), because during an argument with the victims, the defendant shot the victims and threatened to kill the victims. appx. 76, 635 S.E.2d 380 (2006). 178, 786 S.E.2d 558 (2016).

App. Further, because the evidence showed that the defendant committed the burglary in which certain guns were stolen, it followed that the defendant took possession of the guns during the burglary, thus, there was sufficient circumstantial evidence to support the verdict of guilty on the possession of a firearm by a convicted felon charge with regard to the guns found in the bedroom of defendant's parent. Head v. State, 170 Ga. App. Up to fifteen (15) years of probation. In a prosecution for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, armed robbery, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, trial of the charges together was not required since defendant made no motion to sever and, in view of the limiting instructions given and the weight of the testimony of the victim and a corroborating witness, proof of a prior conviction did not place defendant's character in issue to such an extent as to affect the verdict on the armed robbery and firearm charges. - Police search of a defendant's bag and person, which produced handguns, cocaine, cash, and other drugs was lawful because the search was made pursuant to the police officers' lawful warrantless arrest of the defendant when the defendant arrived at a motel room exactly answering a detailed description provided by a confidential informant, who stated that the defendant would be carrying a shoulder bag containing drugs and a loaded handgun. 291, 585 S.E.2d 207 (2003).

O.C.G.A. 1980 Op. Culpepper v. State, 312 Ga. App. Defendant's possession of a handgun when the defendant shot the victim on July 29, 2012, was not simultaneous with the defendant's possession of the long guns on August 2, 2012, when the defendant carried them from the house and hid them in the overgrown area of the backyard; thus, those convictions did not merge.
