Jones v. State

Summary

The Court affirmed Jones's convictions for two malice murders, four aggravated assaults, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. It held that venue was proved beyond a reasonable doubt because the victims' fatal injuries were inflicted in Fulton County, that the failure to charge voluntary manslaughter was not plain error because the evidence did not show serious provocation, and that the aggravated assaults did not merge with the murder convictions because they involved different victims. No separate opinions were filed.
