Jackson v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseFollowing a joint jury trial regarding two separate crimes committed on the same night, defendant Martavious Jackson was found guilty of armed robbery, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, aggravated battery, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, malice murder, felony murder, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Defendant appealed those convictions, arguing he should not have been tried for both crimes at the same trial, the jury array was improper, and the trial court failed to appropriately consider the possibility that defendant was incompetent to stand trial. Finding no reversible error, the Supreme Court affirmed defendant's convictions.
