Todd Welch was convicted of murder and numerous related offenses after Christopher Brown was killed and Darrell Agee was assaulted. He challenged the evidence and the treatment of multiple offenses at sentencing. The Georgia Supreme Court rejected the claims requiring reversal and corrected the judgment where Georgia law required related counts to be vacated or merged. The court left the murder conviction and the supported substantive judgment in place while applying the governing sentencing rules to the overlapping offenses. The decision affirmed the valid portions of the judgment and vacated the portions that could not stand independently.
