Jones v. State
Annotate this CaseDefendant was convicted of the aggravated assault of the victim and the kidnapping of her six-year-old and 18-month-old daughters. Defendant appealed. The court concluded that the evidence was sufficient to enable a rational trier of fact to find defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of all three counts of kidnapping; the court rejected defendant's claim that the three kidnapping convictions should have been merged into the aggravated assault convictions, or vice versa, or that two of the kidnapping convictions should have been merged into the other kidnapping conviction; and defendant's ineffective assistance of counsel claim was without merit. Accordingly, the court affirmed the judgment.
