Lowe v. Georgia
Annotate this Case
In 2011, a grand jury indicted Marquis Lowe for malice murder, felony murder while in the commission of aggravated assault, felony murder while in the commission of aggravated battery, aggravated assault, aggravated battery, possession of a firearm during the commission of the crime of malice murder, possession of a firearm during the commission of the crime of aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during the commission of the crime of aggravated battery all in connection with the death of Dajohn Milton. Lowe was tried by jury and convicted on all counts. He was sentenced as a recidivist to life in prison without the possibility of parole for the crime of malice murder, and a consecutive term of five years in prison for possession of a firearm during the commission of the crime of malice murder; the remaining convictions either merged with a crime for which a sentence was entered or were vacated by operation of law. Lowe raised a number of challenges to the conduct of trial and to his sentences, but finding no reversible error, the Supreme Court affirmed Lowe's conviction.
