These appeals arise from criminal prosecutions in connection with the deaths of Timothy Hale and Rhonda Warren. In case number S06A1649, Katherine Melissa Conway “Conway” appeals from her convictions for two counts of malice murder, and in case number S06A1650, Keane Alan Bates “Bates” appeals from his convictions for two counts of malice murder. For the reasons that follow, we affirm in both cases.1 Construed to support the verdicts, the evidence showed that until June 1995, Conway was the girlfriend of victim Hale; they broke up, but Conway attempted to renew the relationship. However, Hale began a relationship with Warren. On September 29, 1995, Conway and two female friends came to the trailer park where Hale lived. Conway stated that “we’re going to kick Warren’s ass.” The women then rushed into Hale’s trailer, but Hale prevented them from reaching Warren.

Hale and Warren were seen by a neighbor at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 4, 1995; that evening, and again on Sunday, they did not answer telephone calls to the trailer, or knocks at the door. Their bodies were discovered on Monday morning, November 6, 1995. They had been killed by gunshots to the head. Forensic evidence showed that they were seated on a sofa bed when shot, and their bodies were then moved to prone positions on the bed.
