456 S.E.2d 587 (Ga. 1995)

Opinion

S95A0391.

DECIDED MAY 8, 1995.

OCGA § 16-13-30 (d); constitutional question. Hall Superior Court. Before Judge Story.

Adam Talley, Jeffery C. Talley, for appellant.

Lydia J. Sartain, District Attorney, Gene Roberts, Denise M. Arenth, Assistant District Attorneys, for appellee.


Quincey Jarrard Holcomb challenges the constitutionality of OCGA § 16-13-30 (d) under the United States and Georgia Constitutions. We held in Stephens v. State, 265 Ga. 356 ( 456 S.E.2d 560) (1995), that the life imprisonment provision as applied does not violate due process or equal protection. Since this appeal relies on the same statistical evidence considered in Stephens, we affirm.

Judgment affirmed. All the Justices concur, except Benham, P. J., and Sears, J., who concur in the judgment only.

DECIDED MAY 8, 1995.
