4 Citing cases

  1. Collins v. State

    326 Ga. App. 181 (Ga. Ct. App. 2014)   Cited 2 times

    Here, the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying Collins' motion for a mistrial based on a question posed to his co-defendant, which Collins has failed to show prejudiced him in any way. See Sheats v. State, 231 Ga. 362, 363–364(3), 201 S.E.2d 420 (1973) (no error in refusing to grant mistrial where prosecutor referred to co-indictees' right not to testify, but made no reference to appellant); Mayfield v. State, 220 Ga.App. 19, 20(2), 467 S.E.2d 352 (1996) (no prejudice where appellant failed to show that evidence admitted against co-defendant was considered against him). 4.

    Applying former OCGA § 24-9-22

    Sharpe v. State, 272 Ga. 684, 686(2) ( 531 S.E.2d 84) (2000); accord Owen v. State, 266 Ga. 312, 314(2) ( 467 S.E.2d 325) (1996). See Moore v. State, 224 Ga. App. 797, 798(2) ( 481 S.E.2d 892) (1997); accord Mayfield v. State, 220 Ga. App. 19, 20(2) ( 467 S.E.2d 352) (1996). (Citation and punctuation omitted.)

  3. Moore v. State

    224 Ga. App. 797 (Ga. Ct. App. 1997)   Cited 11 times
    Noting that "[s]ome prospective jurors apparently discussed the crime while waiting in the hallway prior to jury selection," but "each member of the venire who overheard that discussion denied hearing any opinion regarding the guilt of the defendants and stated the discussion would not affect his or her ability to decide the case based only on the evidence presented"

    Here, the defendants were not so numerous that the jury confused the facts and law applicable to each. See Mayfield v. State, 220 Ga. App. 19, 20 (2) ( 467 S.E.2d 352) (1996). It is clear the jury was able to sort out the law and evidence, as it convicted Moore of armed robbery only but convicted his co-defendants of armed robbery and felony murder.

  4. Price v. State

    477 S.E.2d 353 (Ga. Ct. App. 1996)   Cited 16 times

    When two or more defendants are jointly indicted for a non-capital felony, the denial of a motion to sever is within the trial court's discretion, and it will not be reversed absent an abuse of discretion. OCGA § 17-8-4; Mayfield v. State, 220 Ga. App. 19, 20 (2) ( 467 S.E.2d 352) (1996). In its charge to the jury, the trial court twice instructed the jury to consider each count and each defendant separately.
