Moss v. State

The trial court did not err in allowing a mannequin head to go out with the jury during deliberations since it served to illustrate the medical examiner's testimony regarding the trajectory of the bullet.

Peggy Moss was convicted of the malice murder of Ronnie Roey, and sentenced to life in prison.1 She appeals, asserting that the evidence was insufficient to convict, and that the trial court erred in permitting demonstrative evidence to go out with the jury. Finding no error, we affirm.

1. Viewing the evidence in a light favorable to the verdict, as we are bound to do, Willis v. State, 263 Ga. 597, 598 436 SE2d 204 1993, we find the following: Moss and Roey dated for three years, and lived together. In the early morning hours on the day in question, Roey threatened to leave; the couple quarreled; and Roey went to sleep. Moss retrieved a loaded gun from the closet and shot Roey in the back of his head. Then she called 911 and said she accidentally shot her companion.
