A jury in Lowndes County found Donterrius Johnson guilty of two felony-murder counts and related crimes arising from separate attacks on Robert Crawford and Michael McCaskill. Johnson and accomplices beat and robbed Crawford and McCaskill; both victims later died, and physical evidence and Johnson’s recorded statement linked him to the attacks. The Supreme Court of Georgia held that the evidence was sufficient because Johnson’s assaults proximately caused both deaths despite intervening medical complications. The Court rejected Johnson’s claim that police induced his confession with a promise of leniency, reasoning that the detective described the seriousness of possible murder charges but promised no reduced charge or sentence. The Court also rejected his ineffective-assistance claims, finding counsel’s challenged decisions reasonable or nonprejudicial. The Court agreed that the aggravated-assault conviction underlying one felony-murder count and the armed-robbery conviction underlying the other merged into the felony-murder counts. It affirmed the felony-murder convictions and the remaining judgment, but vacated the convictions and sentences on Counts 2 and 5; all Justices concurred.
