    v. )
    )
    JEFFERY WILLIAMS, ) JUDGE GLANVILLE
    Defendant. )

    MOTION IN LIMINE NUMBER TWENTY TWO

    COMES NOW, Mr. Jeffery Williams, by and through undersigned counsel, and hereby files

    this Motion in Limine Number Twenty Two to exclude evidence of the arrest of Mr. Shannon

    Stillwell on or about March 17, 2022, when being charged with Murder and other related offenses

    involving Mr. Drinks. In support of this Motion, Mr. Williams shows as follows:

    1.

    Mr. Williams is innocent of any and all charges the above-referenced Indictment.

    2.

    Although this issue does not directly involve Mr. Williams as he was never involved/arrested

    on March 17, 2022 nor charged with Mr. Drinks’ supposed murder, law enforcement officers

    arrested Mr. Shannon Stillwell at 2481 Meadowlark Drive, East Point, Georgia, 30344, while in the

    midst of a religious ceremony which involved supposed sacrifice of goats.

    3.

    There is absolutely no benefit/probative value and the prejudice is great to show this religious

    ceremony to the jurors simply to show the arrest of Mr. Stillwell as well as Mr. Quamarvious

    Nichols. See O.C.G.A. § 24-4-401; O.C.G.A. § 24-4-402; O.C.G.A. § 24-4-403. A reasonable person

    can also view this as character evidence as well. See O.C.G.A. § 24-4-404(a).

    WHEREFORE, Mr. Williams respectfully requests a hearing on this Motion and at the

    conclusion of same, asks this Honorable Court to grant the above-requested relief as Mr. Williams

    is on trial with co-Defendants and this evidence, even with a limiting jury instruction, will prejudice

    the jury, wrongly, against Mr. Williams and all.
