How later courts describe this case
- holding that a section of the Georgia Gasoline Marketing Practices Act was not unconstitutionally vague
- pictures of homicide victim while alive should not be admitted at trial unless relevant to a material issue, although such an error may not be prejudicial to the outcome
- requires “evidence that the murder in question involved brutality in excess of that which is normally present in any killing”
