Jarvis Lamont Milton was convicted of murder and other charges related to the shooting death of Frederick Cade in 2017. The Supreme Court of Georgia upheld Milton’s conviction, rejecting his appeal that claimed insufficient evidence for a rational jury to find him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. The case stemmed from an altercation involving Milton, Richard Stroud Jr., and Cade. Evidence presented at trial included witness testimonies, forensic findings, and recorded interviews. Despite conflicting accounts from witnesses, the court found sufficient evidence to support Milton’s convictions for malice murder and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime.
