Georgia v. Jones
Annotate this CaseThe Georgia Supreme Court granted certiorari review in this case to consider whether under the new Georgia Evidence Code (OCGA 24-4-404 (b), “Rule 404 (b)"), evidence of appellee Michael Jones’ 2005 conviction for driving under the influence of alcohol (to the extent it was less safe for him to drive) was admissible in a subsequent prosecution for driving under the influence. After careful consideration, the Court found that evidence of Jones’ prior conviction was admissible at trial pursuant to Rule 404 (b). The Court therefore reversed the contrary decision of the Court of Appeals and remanded for further proceedings.
