Jones v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseXavier Jones appealed his convictions for felony murder and other crimes in connection with the 2010 shooting death of Christopher Crumby. On appeal, Jones argued the trial court erred: (1) in not granting his motion for directed verdict at trial; (2) in not granting his motion for new trial on the general grounds; (3) by admitting a video recording of Jones’s interview in which Jones remained silent in response to some of the investigators’ questions and comments; (4) denying his motion for mistrial on that ground, and (5) by failing to meaningfully respond to a question submitted by the jury during deliberations. Jones also argued the evidence submitted at trial was insufficient to support his convictions. The Georgia Supreme Court vacated Jones' conviction for aggravated assault as it should have merged into his felony murder conviction. The Court affirmed Jones' convictions in all other respects.
