Jones v. State

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that where the other acts evidence involved crimes to which the appellant had pleaded guilty, the evidence that the appellant committed the prior acts was sufficient
• holding that venue was sufficiently proved where a witness heard the fatal shots fired \real close\ to the time the car containing the victim pulled up \real fast\ into a parking lot in Fulton County where the victim's body was dumped
• holding that venue was sufficiently proved where a witness heard the fatal shots fired “real close” to the time the car containing the victim pulled up “real fast” into a parking lot in Fulton County where the victim’s body was dumped
• “As appellant’s participation in the earlier crimes required the same intent as the charged [crime], the evidence of these other acts was relevant.”
• probative value of evidence of defendant’s prior armed robberies was not substantially outweighed by its prejudicial effect where defendant testified that murder victim pulled out a gun and tried to rob defendant
• failure to make a meritless objection cannot constitute evidence of ineffective assistance
