Jackson v. Georgia
Annotate this Case
Appellant Jamon Jackson was convicted and sentenced to life in prison plus 20 years for fatally shooting his girlfriend Ashley White and burning her body inside her vehicle to conceal her death. After review of his arguments made on appeal, the Supreme Court concluded that though the evidence was sufficient to authorize appellant's conviction for tampering with evidence, appellant committed misdemeanor tampering rather than felony tampering because he tampered with evidence in his own case. Accordingly, the ten-year sentence imposed on appellant for tampering was vacated and the case was remanded for imposition of a sentence for a misdemeanor.
