Minh Nguyen appeals his convictions for felony murder, aggravated assault, aggravated battery, battery, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime in connection with the fatal shooting of Kim Standfill and the wounding of Thanh Nguyen. He challenges the admission of his non-custodial and custodial statements and the introduction of evidence of an attempt to influence the testimony of the surviving victim, Thanh Nguyen. Finding the challenges to be without merit, we affirm.1

At the time of the crimes, the victims, Kim Standfill and Thanh Nguyen, were living together and referred to each other as husband and wife. Minh Nguyen had been in the United States since 1979, and had known Thanh for 16 to 18 years. At one time, the two men were roommates, and Thanh had worked for Minh on a shrimp boat out of Savannah. By the time of the shootings, each man had his own boat from which each earned his livelihood.
