Mozley v. State
Georgia Court of Appeals · Decided September 9, 1947 · MacIntyre, Gardner, Townsend
44 S.E.2d 171; 75 Ga. App. 636; 1947 Ga. App. LEXIS 599 (South Eastern Reporter, Second Series)

Mozley v. State

Opinion of the Court

MacIntyre, P. J.

1. The trial judge did not err in refusing to grant the defendant a change of venue either because there was a probability or danger of lynching or other violence or because an impartial jury could not be obtained in the county where the crime was committed.

2. The rulings in Lucas v. State, 74 Ga. App. 682 (41 S. E. 2d, 163), are controlling on the issues presented in the instant case.

Judgment affirmed.

Gardner and Townsend, JJ., concur.
