Supreme Court of Georgia June 4, 2001, S01A0387 (Mitchum v. State)

Fletcher, Presiding Justice.

A jury convicted Robert Earl Mitchum of felony murder and aggravated assault in connection with the beating death of Charles Howell.1 The trial court granted the state’s motion in limine to exclude prior acts of violence committed by the victim against third persons because Mitchum failed to give ten days’ notice.
