In the Court of Appeals of Georgia A16A0523. JONES v. THE STATE.

PHIPPS, Senior Appellate Judge.

In Jones v. State, 337 Ga. App. 687 (787 SE2d 300) (2016), this Court rejected

appellant Randall Lee’s arguments that the jury verdicts against him for bringing

stolen property into the state and theft by conversion of that same property were

mutually exclusive. Id. at 690. In Jones v. State, 302 Ga. 730 (808 SE2d 655) (2017),

the Supreme Court of Georgia reversed our decision and concluded that “reversal of

both verdicts is required.” Id. at 733. We hereby adopt the decision of our Supreme

Court as our own and reverse the trial court’s denial of Jones’s motion for new trial.

Judgment reversed. Ellington, P. J., and Mercier, J., concur.
