[QUOTE="30Luger, post: 3367895, member: 45690"] [URL]https://mckinneylaw.iu.edu/ilr/pdf/vol32p1437.pdf[/URL] In 1991, the Chandler court overturned the long-standing rule in Georgia prohibiting the admission of evidence by the accused of specific acts of violence by the victim to prove that the victim’s bad character conformed to this violent trait. The court was convinced that the former rule should be abolished and adopted the reasoning of Justice Weltner in his concurrence in Lolley v. State. The court stated: “In his special concurrence to Lolley,Justice Weltner cogently explained why this Court ought to change the rule. We now find his reasoning persuasive and hold that . . . evidence of specific acts of violence by a victim against third persons shall be admissible where the defendant claims justification.” From page 1549: [/QUOTE]
