Supreme Court of Georgia

Jones v. the State.

April 16, 2018813 S.E.2d 360

Summary

The court affirmed Jones's convictions for malice murder and theft by taking. It held that the evidence was sufficient, the competency-trial instruction did not constitute plain error, the exclusion of Jones's post-shooting statements was not an abuse of discretion, and the handwritten verdict form adequately addressed the lesser offenses. There were no separate opinions.
