Case Summary
Christopher Profet was convicted of malice murder, armed robbery, and related crimes in the shooting death of Latonya Morris-Figg. On appeal, he attacked the sufficiency of the evidence and challenged the trial court's handling of his right to testify, expert shoeprint testimony, and the jury's access to enlarged photographs during deliberations. The Supreme Court of Georgia rejected each claim, holding that the evidence supported the verdicts and that the complained-of rulings did not warrant a new trial. The convictions and sentences were affirmed.
