Barker v. State

6 Citing cases

  1. Maxwell v. State

    250 Ga. App. 628 (Ga. Ct. App. 2001)   Cited 6 times

    Witnesses may be impeached with "evidence of a conviction for a crime involving moral turpitude." Barker v. State, 211 Ga. App. 279, 280 (4) ( 438 S.E.2d 649) (1993). Because criminal trespass and criminal damage to property are not crimes of moral turpitude, the trial court did not err.

  2. Smith v. State

    548 S.E.2d 21 (Ga. Ct. App. 2001)   Cited 1 times

    Id. (citations and punctuation omitted); White v. State, 244 Ga. App. 54, 55 (1) ( 537 S.E.2d 364) (2000) (cert. granted); Tuten v. State, 242 Ga. App. 223, 227 (6) ( 529 S.E.2d 221) (2000); Thompson v. State, 240 Ga. App. 26, 31 (6) ( 521 S.E.2d 876) (1999); Ingram v. State, 233 Ga. App. 356, 357 (1) ( 504 S.E.2d 254) (1998); Abrams v.

State, 175 Ga. App. 449, 450 (3) ( 333 S.E.2d 645) (1985); see Williams v. State, 224 Ga. App. 665 (2) ( 482 S.E.2d 415) (1997); Hassan v. State, 216 Ga. App. 484 ( 455 S.E.2d 314) (1995); Barker v. State, 211 Ga. App. 279, 280 (5) ( 438 S.E.2d 649) (1993). In Tuten v. State,Neal v. State, and Wade v. State, we questioned the soundness of this rule but found ourselves bound by it, because it was established by the Supreme Court of Georgia in Haralson v. State.

  3. Bradley v. State

    238 Ga. App. 490 (Ga. Ct. App. 1999)   Cited 11 times
    In Bradley, the Court of Appeals, using the "slight evidence exception," held that venue for the defendant's convictions for driving under the influence and failure to maintain lane had not been established by a trooper's testimony that he observed the defendant's vehicle weaving on the northbound lane of Georgia Highway 5 and on Baptist Camp Road.

    The State's case against Bradley consisted solely of the testimony of a state patrol officer and a videotape. But neither the officer nor the videotape mention any particular county. Although Bradley did not challenge venue at trial, we have not found nor has the State directed our attention to any evidence in the record showing that these offenses occurred in Spalding County. Compare Barker v. State, 211 Ga. App. 279 (2) ( 438 S.E.2d 649) (1993). Since the arresting officer was a state trooper and not a county law enforcement officer, no inference could be made that he was acting within the territorial jurisdiction of a particular county. Compare Joiner v. State, 231 Ga. App. 61 ( 497 S.E.2d 642) (1998); Hunter v. State, 191 Ga. App. 219, 220 ( 381 S.E.2d 525) (1989).

  4. Self v. State

    503 S.E.2d 625 (Ga. Ct. App. 1998)   Cited 10 times

    Thus, Self has waived her right to appellate review by failing to object at trial. See Barker v. State, 211 Ga. App. 279, 280 (3) ( 438 S.E.2d 649) (1993). This enumeration of error has no merit.

  5. Durant v. State

    222 Ga. App. 872 (Ga. Ct. App. 1996)   Cited 5 times

    But because misdemeanor criminal trespass is not an offense involving moral turpitude, its exclusion was proper. Barker v. State, 211 Ga. App. 279, 280 (4) ( 438 S.E.2d 649) (1993). Judgment reversed in part and affirmed in part.

  6. Howie v. State

    218 Ga. App. 45 (Ga. Ct. App. 1995)   Cited 8 times

    (Citation and punctuation omitted.) Barker v. State, 211 Ga. App. 279, 280 (3) ( 438 S.E.2d 649) (1993). After reviewing the record, we find no abuse of discretion, prejudice, or injury. Accordingly, this enumeration is without merit.
