Dissenting Opinion

ANSTEAD, Judge,

dissenting:

The appellant was convicted of grand larceny. The only defense attempted to be offered was by the testimony of an expert witness that the market value of the goods in question was less than $100.00. The trial court had previously granted the motion of the appellant to appoint an expert to appraise the value of the goods stolen. However, at trial the court refused to allow the expert to testify. I think this was reversible error.
