Supreme Court of Georgia

Jones v. State

June 2, 2026

Summary

The court affirmed Jones’s convictions, holding that his custodial statements were admissible because his response, “Not right now,” was not an unequivocal invocation of the right to remain silent and his subsequent conduct demonstrated an implied, knowing, and voluntary waiver. The court also held that Jones failed to show prejudice from the denial of his motion to strike a prospective juror because he did not show that an unqualified juror ultimately served.
