Product description
Georgia Crimes and Defenses examines the state of Georgia’s entire substantive criminal law in one easy-to-use place. It summarizes all Georgia criminal offenses and provides in-depth analysis of the caselaw interpreting those crimes. Full treatment is also given to the defenses often raised in criminal cases.
Georgia Crimes and Defenses focuses primarily on the Georgia Criminal Code (Title 16) and those defenses that can be raised. The texts of that statute are reproduced, explaining the exact wording and nature of the law highlighting significant changes made by recent legislation. This also includes discussion and summary of important cases concerning the applicability of the law as well as the construction or constitutionality of the statute.
With references to leading and related cases, and authoritative guidance on the substantive law, Georgia Crimes and Defenses provides all analytical content that makes a treatise valuable and easy to use. This treatise covers both the elements of substantive criminal law as well as the defenses that will negate any of these necessary elements which must be met for a criminal prosecution in Georgia. Each chapter combines authoritative legal analysis with an expert author’s practical insights, distilled from years of litigation practice and judicial service.
