Michael Jones, Jr. appeals his conviction for the malice murder of Rico Allen. Jones challenges the sufficiency of the evidence, the denial of his motion to suppress, the admission of certain out-of-court statements, and the trial court’s instruction to the jury. Finding that none of the alleged errors requires reversal of Jones’s conviction, we affirm.1

The State presented evidence that Allen’s body was discovered along a roadside in Richmond County around 10:00 a.m. on Monday morning, January 30, 1995. It appeared that the body had been there 10 to 12 hours. The cause of death was determined to be a gunshot wound to the back of the head. The police located Allen’s car the next day and observed what appeared to be dried blood on the front passenger seat and a blood splatter on the back seat, which was consistent with a contact wound.
