Jenkins v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseDevon Jenkins was convicted of felony murder and other crimes in connection with an August 6, 2014 home invasion in which the victim was shot and killed and two other victims, including a child, were injured. On appeal, Appellant contended: (1) the evidence was legally insufficient to support his conviction for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon; (2) the trial court erred in admitting other-act evidence prohibited by OCGA 24-4-404 (b); and (3) his trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance by failing to request a limiting instruction on the other-act evidence. Finding no reversible error, the Georgia Supreme Court affirmed Appellant’s convictions.
