The Georgia Supreme Court has upheld convictions against a East Point car dealer who shot and killed two of his employees after they had asked for raises.

A Fulton County jury had found Rolandas Milinavicius guilty of killing Marytnas Simokatis, 28, and Inga Contreras, 25, in 2007 in the dealer's offices. All three were natives of Lithuania. Simokatis was shot nine times and Contreras was shot in the head. Prosecutors said they believed financial stress was the motive because Milinavicius was in debt and feeling press to give raises to his employees.
