Paul Treadwell appeals his convictions for felony murder and robbery in connection with the fatal assault upon Joel Sellers. Treadwell challenges testimony by State’s witnesses regarding statements by the victim; testimony by the medical examiner about the cause of the victim’s death; the admission into evidence of the death certificate; the admission into evidence of Treadwell’s prior conviction for voluntary manslaughter; and the sufficiency of the evidence of his guilt. Finding the challenges to be without merit, we affirm.1 The evidence construed in favor of the verdicts shows that on the morning of July 27, 2006, Gary Lann and his wife discovered their eighty-one-year-old neighbor, Joel Sellers, lying in their driveway. Sellers was naked, “except for his shirt and it was unbuttoned.” He had crawled from his house to Lann’s and his clothes were strewn between the two houses. When Lann questioned Sellers about what had happened, Sellers asked Lann to get his pistol, and said that Paul Treadwell had taken it. An ambulance arrived and Sellers was transported to a hospital in Telfair County for treatment. As Lann gathered Sellers’s clothes he noticed that the car that had belonged to Sellers’s deceased wife was missing from Sellers’s driveway; Sellers never let anyone use that car. Lann also discovered that the door to Sellers’s house was locked.
On the same morning, Johnny Smith, the chief deputy of the Telfair County Sheriff’s office interviewed Emily Garrison, who was the clerk at a local convenience store; Garrison had contacted police out of concern for Sellers, who was one of her regular customers, because he had not come into the store for several days. Sellers came into the store “every day to drink coffee and hang around and talk.” Also, Garrison had seen Treadwell driving the car belonging to Sellers’s deceased wife.
