Horne v. State
Horne v. State
Opinion of the Court
Appellant, convicted of voluntary manslaughter, contends the court erred in admitting certain evidence and in overruling the special ground of her motion for new trial which alleged that a state’s witness had violated the "isolation and integrity” of the jury. Finding merit in neither of those contentions, we affirm.
1. The court did not commit error by admitting two pictures of the deceased’s body. "Photographs which tend to show relevant and material facts are admissible although it is alleged that they are designed to inflame and prejudice the jury.” McCorquodale v. State, 233 Ga. 369, 375 (211 SE2d 577) (1974).
2. The jury broke from their deliberations and, while under the rule of sequestration and accompanied by the bailiff, partook of lunch at a nearby Holiday Inn restaurant. It happened that a state’s witness, Frances Woodard, was employed as a waitress at the restaurant
Judgment affirmed.
