Lewis v. State

Court of Appeals of Georgia

294 S.E.2d 737 (Ga. Ct. App. 1982)

Opinion

61737.

DECIDED SEPTEMBER 15, 1982.

Drug violation. Laurens Superior Court. Before Judge Towson.

Ralph M. Walke, Richard T. Taylor, for appellant.

Beverly B. Hayes, Jr., District Attorney, H. Jeff Lanier, Assistant District Attorney, for appellee.


Appellant's conviction was reversed by this court in Lewis v. State, 159 Ga. App. 301 ( 283 S.E.2d 275). Our decision was reversed by the Supreme Court with direction to consider an enumeration of error raising the general grounds. Lewis v. State, 248 Ga. 566 ( 285 S.E.2d 179). On remand, we issued another opinion reversing appellant's conviction. Lewis v. State, 161 Ga. App. 348 ( 288 S.E.2d 124). The Supreme Court has once again reversed our decision. State v. Lewis, 249 Ga. 565 ( 292 S.E.2d 667).

In its most recent decision in this case, the Supreme Court addressed only the general grounds. In its first decision, it considered only the question of whether the general grounds had to be addressed. It may be seen, then, that the reason for which this court originally reversed this case has not been affected by the case's appellate peregrinations. It is therefore necessary that appellant's conviction be once again reversed for the reasons expressed in Lewis v. State, 159 Ga. App. 301, supra. See also Falsetta v. State, 158 Ga. App. 392 ( 280 S.E.2d 411).

Judgment reversed. Birdsong and Sognier, JJ., concur.

DECIDED SEPTEMBER 15, 1982.
