Gary v. State
Georgia Court of Appeals · Decided June 5, 1979 · Deen
150 Ga. App. 201; 257 S.E.2d 344; 1979 Ga. App. LEXIS 2117

Gary v. State

Opinion of the Court

Deen, Chief Judge.

The sole complaint in this appeal from a conviction for shoplifting is that the judge at one point spoke of appropriation of the thing taken to "its” rather than "the defendant’s” own use. Taken in context and as a whole, the error, an obvious slip of the tongue, could not have been misleading. Griffis v. State, 242 Ga. 26 (247 SE2d 833) (1978).

Judgment affirmed,

McMurray, P. J., and Birdsong, J., concur. Shulman, J., not participating.
