Sandy Washington was indicted along with Vernon Ryans, Jeremy Williams, and Andre Madison for malice murder, felony murder, and the possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, all stemming from the shooting of Jeffrey Ellison. The felony murder count specified that they caused Ellison’s death during the “commission of the felony of criminal damage to property in the first degree, . . . by shooting multiple bullets into the house in which . . . Ellison was located.” Washington was tried separately, and Madison testified against him at trial. Washington was found guilty of felony murder and the firearm offense, and he now appeals, contending that the evidence is insufficient to support his felony murder conviction and that the trial court erred by not permitting him to cross-examine Madison about the details of a plea offer that Madison rejected.1 We affirm. 1. Contrary to Washington’s contention, the evidence is clearly sufficient to support his convictions. Madison testified that, around 5:00 p.m. on January 5, 2006, he, Jeremy Williams, Vernon Ryans, and Washington left the home of Ryans’s aunt, and drove to the home of Zannie Worrell to rob him. They were all riding in Williams’s car, with Williams driving and Ryans sitting in the front passenger seat. Washington was sitting behind Ryans, and Madison was sitting behind Williams. Madison testified that, when they saw Worrell’s car in the front yard, they decided not to attempt a robbery. Ryans then stated that Worrell had put a $5,000 hit on Washington, Ryans, and Williams, and that he Ryans was going “to shoot the b — — up.” According to Madison, Washington and Williams said they were going to shoot Worrell’s car. Shortly thereafter, Washington asked Ryans if he was ready. Madison testified that Washington had a .380 caliber handgun, that he started shooting first, that Ryans had a nine millimeter handgun, and that he then started shooting. Madison testified that he and Williams did not participate in the shooting and that he did not have a gun.
Zannie Worrell testified that, late in the afternoon on January 5, 2006, he was watching television in his home with Ellison when numerous gunshots were fired at his house. After the shooting stopped, he saw that Ellison, who was sitting on a sofa, had been shot in the back of the neck. Ellison later died from his injuries.
