Freeman v. State

3 Citing cases

  1. Hill v. State

    Second, proof of Hill's identity as perpetrator of the similar transaction was established by the state's introduction of certified copies of Hill's convictions in that case. Freeman v. State, 232 Ga. App. 715, 716 (3) ( 503 SE2d 601) (1998); Etheridge v. State, 228 Ga. App. 788, 789 (1) ( 492 SE2d 755) (1997). And third, the crimes for which Hill was on trial and the similar transaction were sufficiently similar so that proof of one tended to prove the other.

  2. Collins v. State

    578 S.E.2d 201 (Ga. Ct. App. 2003)   Cited 5 times

    1. The trial court properly denied Collins' motion for discharge and acquittal pursuant to OCGA ยง 17-7-170, alleging abridgement of his right to a speedy trial, because the motion was based on Collins' first demand for speedy trial, which he made before the indictment was returned. Freeman v. State, 232 Ga. App. 715(2) ( 503 S.E.2d 601) (1998); Little v. State, 188 Ga. App. 410 (1) ( 373 S.E.2d 260) (1988). 2.

  3. Johnson v. State

    236 Ga. App. 252 (Ga. Ct. App. 1999)   Cited 13 times

    We find that the similar transaction was substantially relevant to establish these factors and thus was not admitted simply to malign Johnson's character. See Freeman v. State, 232 Ga. App. 715, 716 ( 505 S.E.2d 836) (1998). (b) Johnson contends the trial court should have given, sua sponte, a limiting instruction immediately prior to the admission of the State's similar transaction evidence.
