Barber v. State

Court of Appeals of Georgia
Nov 18, 1969
171 S.E.2d 747 (Ga. Ct. App. 1969)

Opinion

44876.

ARGUED NOVEMBER 5, 1969.

DECIDED NOVEMBER 18, 1969.

Burglary. Fulton Superior Court. Before Judge Emeritus Boykin.

Walter O. Allanson, for appellant.

Lewis R. Slaton, District Attorney, Tony H. Hight, for appellee.


The defendant appeals from his conviction of burglary and sentence of five years with recommendation of misdemeanor punishment.

1. When the case was called for trial on June 16, 1969, the defendant's counsel orally moved for a continuance on the ground that he was retained on June 12th and was not adequately prepared. The defendant was indicted and made bond on May 16, 1969. It cannot be said as a matter of law that the trial court abused its discretion in overruling the motion. Morgan v. State, 224 Ga. 604 (1) ( 163 S.E.2d 690); Foster v. State, 213 Ga. 601, 603 ( 100 S.E.2d 426) certiorari denied 355 U.S. 967.

2. An enumeration of error on the admission of evidence to which no objection was made at the trial, or to which objection was made without specifying a ground of objection is without merit. Marshall v. State, 113 Ga. App. 143, 146 ( 147 S.E.2d 666).

3. The evidence was sufficient to support the conviction. See Anderson v. State, 120 Ga. App. 147 (4) ( 169 S.E.2d 629).

Judgment affirmed. Pannell and Quillian, JJ., concur.

ARGUED NOVEMBER 5, 1969 — DECIDED NOVEMBER 18, 1969.
