Poole v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseNashea Poole was convicted by jury of felony murder and related offenses in connection with crimes committed against Jordan and Chad Collins. The Collins brothers were at their sister's home where they were visited by Clarissa McGhee and Poole, whom Jordan had met through the “Plenty of Fish” dating website. After approximately an hour, Jordan decided to take the women to his house and prepared to leave. Shortly thereafter, Chad heard the back screen door slam, followed by a commotion. Chad then heard a gunshot and ran outside, where he saw Jordan lying on the patio. Chad was then shot several times. He made his way to the garage, where he found McGhee. Chad yelled at McGhee and began chasing McGhee, who pulled out a gun, pointed it at Chad, and then fled. Chad survived, but Jordan died of his wounds. McGhee, who pled guilty to aggravated assault, testified for the State, implicating Poole as a gang member, and for participating in the plot to "lure 'johns' under the pretense of prostitution services, for the purpose of robbing [the victim]." Poole raised numerous claims alleging that the evidence presented at trial was insufficient to support her convictions. Finding no reversible error, the Georgia Supreme Court affirmed.
