Jones v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseDelaljujuan Jones was tried by jury and convicted of murder and other crimes in connection with a shooting that killed Stanley Hill and wounded three others. Jones appealed, contending: (1) the evidence presented at his trial was insufficient to sustain three of his convictions; (2) the trial court erred when it denied his request to charge the jury on the defense of justification; and (3) that he was denied the effective assistance of counsel when his trial counsel failed to present evidence that Hill and others at the scene of the shooting were members of a gang. Finding no reversible error, the Georgia Supreme Court affirmed Jones' convictions.
