ALBANY, GA (WALB) - Georgia's top court has upheld two South Georgia murder convictions.
33-year-old Chadrick Nash was convicted of shooting and killing 25-year old Leon Williams in October 2004. Prosecutors say Nash killedd Williams because Williams wouldn't participate in a Grady County robbery.
The Georgia Supreme Court upheld Nash's murder conviction Monday.
They also upheld the murder conviction of a Ben Hill County woman. Carolyn Merritt was found guilty of fatally shooting her husband Jimmy in the back of his head in 2005.
