Summary of this case from Sheriff v. StateOpinion
61651.
DECIDED APRIL 22, 1981.
Action for damages. Burke Superior Court. Before Judge Pierce.
Gould B. Hagler, Duncan D. Wheale, for appellants.
George W. Fryhofer, Preston B. Lewis, Jr., for appellees.
Plaintiffs bring this appeal, alleging that the trial court, in violation of Code Ann. § 81-1004, permitted more than one counsel to speak on behalf of the defendants in closing argument.
The evidence shows that counsel for the plaintiffs made the concluding argument. No violation of Code Ann. § 81-1004 thus appears. See Duke v. Steed, 127 Ga. App. 541 ( 194 S.E.2d 257).
Judgment affirmed. Birdsong and Sognier, JJ., concur.
