    When a juror expresses a willingness to evaluate the evidence objectively, and when the juror's potential bias arises out of a personal experience with a particular type of crime rather than out of a close relationship with the parties involved in the case, the juror may be eligible for service. See Garrett v. State, 280 Ga. 30-31 (2) ( 622 SE2d 323) (2005); Holmes v. State, 269 Ga. 124, 125-126 (2) ( 498 SE2d 732) (1998); Souder v. State, 281 Ga.

  4. Green v. State

    298 Ga. App. 17 (Ga. Ct. App. 2009)   Cited 27 times
    Affirming a defendant's conviction for attempted trafficking in marijuana based upon evidence that he provided money to purchase the drugs and accompanied his co-defendants to the arranged location for the drug deal, which established his participation as a party to the crime

    Although Green lists several additional grounds for why a mistrial should have been granted, he does not provide any argument or citation to supporting legal authority with respect to those grounds in accordance with Court of Appeals Rule 25 (a) (3). Hence, his assertion of error predicated on those additional grounds is deemed abandoned. Court of Appeals Rule 25 (c) (2); Souder v. State, 281 Ga. App. 339, 341 (1), n. 1 ( 636 SE2d 68) (2006). "It is error for any judge, during the progress of any case, or in his charge to the jury, to express or intimate his opinion as to what has or has not been proved."

So viewed, the evidence was that Cherokee County Sheriff's Deputy Rownd was on duty observing traffic for violations at approximately 3:45 a.m. on September 16, 2003. Hampton was driving northbound on I-575 when Deputy Rownd observed that his truck had no operational tag lights.
