Citation: Not availableDocket: A22A1510
Court: Court of Appeals of Georgia; July 11, 2022; Georgia; State Appellate Court
Original Court Document: View Document
Kyle Richard Bishop was convicted in 2000 of child molestation, aggravated child molestation, and aggravated sexual battery. His convictions were upheld by the Court of Appeals in 2001. On October 6, 2021, Bishop filed a motion to dismiss his case, claiming jurisdiction issues and raising concerns about his indictment. The trial court dismissed this motion on October 20, 2021, leading Bishop to file an appeal. However, the Court of Appeals determined it lacked jurisdiction over the appeal, establishing that challenging an indictment is essentially a challenge to a criminal conviction. The court referenced prior rulings indicating that such motions do not represent valid procedural avenues for contesting a criminal judgment. Consequently, Bishop's appeal was dismissed.
