State v. Duvall 289 Ga. 540
Dec 08, 2011OUTCOME: Conviction reversed by the Georgia Supreme Court
After oral argument before the Georgia Supreme Court I won a reversal of my client's conviction after his “mistake of fact” regarding the identity of a pill was denied by both the trial court and the G ... eorgia Court of Appeals. The Georgia Supreme Court granted certiorari, and I prevailed. The opinion in that case is frequently cited in support of a mistake of fact defense being appropriate in certain controlled substance cases.
