Rita Mary Dugar was convicted after a bench trial of felony murder, aggravated assault, and possessing a firearm during the commission of a felony. She argued that the trial court erred in accepting her waiver of a jury trial and raised related appellate challenges. Dugar maintained that she had fired a warning shot during a confrontation at her former boyfriend’s home and that the shooting of Jon Trevor Townley was accidental. The Supreme Court of Georgia reviewed the record and held that Dugar had not shown reversible error in the trial court’s handling of the jury-trial waiver or in the other claims presented. The court explained that the burden rested on the appellant to demonstrate error from the record and that it was not required to search the record for support for arguments not adequately developed. The judgment was affirmed.
