Quantavious Grier was convicted of felony murder and related offenses in the robbery and fatal shooting of James Yarborough. The trial court later granted a new trial as the thirteenth juror, finding that the case depended heavily on accomplice testimony and that the greater weight of the evidence did not support the verdict. The State appealed, while Grier argued that the evidence was legally insufficient. The Georgia Supreme Court affirmed. The court held that the trial judge had discretion to act as the thirteenth juror and could weigh the evidence differently from the jury when ruling on a motion for new trial. The evidence was nevertheless legally sufficient because the accomplice testimony had some independent corroboration connecting Grier to the crime. A difference between the jury’s view and the trial judge’s view did not make the evidence legally insufficient. The new-trial ruling therefore stood.
