Annotate this CaseDerrick Styles was convicted by jury of felony murder and other crimes in connection with the shooting death of Alberto Lumens and the armed robbery fo Juan Lumens Garcia.

He also argued his trial counsel was ineffective for failing to object to an allegedly improper comment by the prosecutor during closing argument. Finding no merit to these contentions, the Georgia Supreme Court affirmed conviction.
