Geer v. State
Geer v. State
Opinion of the Court
In 1936 the defendant was indicted in Miller County for murder. He moved for a change of venue, on the ground that he could not be tried in that county without being in danger of violence. The court overruled the motion, and that judgment was reversed by this court. Geer v. State, 54 Ga. App. 216 (187 S. E. 601). Subsequently the case was removed to Terrell County, where the defendant was convicted of the offense charged. His motion for new trial was overruled, and that judgment was reversed by the Supreme Court. Geer v. State, 184 Ga. 805 (193 S. E. 776). When the case was again called in Terrell superior court the defendant presented his motion asking that he be allowed to withdraw and to waive his original motion for a change of venue, and that the court change the venue back to Miller County, for certain reasons stated in the motion. The motion was subsequently amended by stating that the movant “has the right to withdraw his petition for change of venue from Miller County, formerly filed, and to waive the order heretofore granted in said case changing the venue of said case from Miller County to Terrell County, [and that] petitioner hereby waives the change of venue of said case from Miller County to Terrell County heretofore granted, and prays the court to return petitioner’s case
Judgment affirmed.
