Chаrles Davis was convicted of the malice murder of Thomas Anthony Moore, and wаs sentenced to life imprisonment. He was also convicted of, and sentenсed for, the aggravated assault of Early Graham, Sr.; possession of a firearm during thе commission of a felony (the murder of Moore); and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony (the aggravated assault of Graham). 1 Davis appeals, and we affirm.
1. Davis contеnds the trial court erred by denying his motion for a directed verdict and his motion for new trial on the general grounds. We find these contentions have no merit.
Davis was tried and convicted jointly with a co-defendant, Gary Best, who also appealed. In
Best v. State,
showed that on the afternoon of December 4, 1988, [Bеst], Charles Davis, and Diallow Johnson drove by a group of persons at a street intersection and fired shots into the group in an attempt at revenge for an altercation that occurred the previous night. One of the shots struck Moore, who wаs killed, and another shot struck Graham, who was wounded. [Id. at 30-31 (1).]
We conclude the evidence was sufficient to meet the standard of
Jackson v. Virginia,
2. Davis’ argument concerning the pathologist’s testimony presents no reversible error.
3. Four of Davis’ enumerations are interconnected. In them he contends that the court erred by denying his motion to sever his trial from Best’s; the court erred by denying his motion to sever the trial
*19
of the charge against Best of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon; the court erred by allowing into evidence a statement Best had given police; and the court erred by charging the jury on conspiracy. The gist of the enumerations is that Dаvis contends he was prejudiced by being jointly tried with Best. However, we find no merit in Davis’ argumеnts in support of the enumerations, and in particular find Davis has not shown the degreе of prejudice from the joint trial to require reversing the judgment because of the court’s denial of his motion to sever his trial from Best’s.
Satterfield v. State,
4. Davis’ enumeration concеrning the trial court’s grant of the prosecution’s motion in limine is without merit.
5. We find no abuse of discretion in the trial court’s denial of Davis’ motion for a continuance.
6. The сourt did not err by failing to charge on self-defense and voluntary manslaughter, as therе was no evidence to support those charges.
7. The order in which the verdict form the court presented to the jury listed the counts of the indictment did not violatе Davis’ right to due process.
Whitehead v. State,
8. “There is no merit in appellant’s contention that thе court erred by charging the jury that witnesses are presumed to speak the truth.
Noggle v. State,
9. Davis сontends the trial court erred by admitting into evidence certified copies of felony convictions of Best. Pretermitting whether Davis has the standing to raise this issue, we find nо error. “The state was not required to show the validity of the prior felonies, as they were introduced to prove a necessary element of the crime of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
Scott v. State,
10. As we held in Best, supra at 31 (6),
[w]e find no error in the trial court’s imposition of two separate sentences for the two convictions of possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, as one conviction was based on the murder of Moore and the other conviction was bаsed independently on the aggravated assault of Graham.
Judgment affirmed.
