Date published: Apr 16, 1982

290 S.E.2d 362 (Ga. Ct. App. 1982)

162 Ga. App. 291

Opinion

63619, 63620.

DECIDED APRIL 16, 1982.

Habitual violator. Laurens Superior Court. Before Judge Douglas.

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

W. W. Larsen, for appellee.

POPE, Judge.

The appellee in the above cases filed a motion in the trial court demanding a "trial by jury" identical to the motion filed in State v. Adamczyk, 162 Ga. App. 288 ( 290 S.E.2d 149) (1982). The wording of such motion does not constitute a demand for trial under Code § 27-1901.

Accordingly, we reverse the trial court's judgment of acquittal.

Judgments reversed. Deen, P. J., and Sognier, J., concur.

DECIDED APRIL 16, 1982.
