Little v. State
Little v. State
Opinion of the Court
1. A request for instruction which does not state-the law correctly is properly refused. Thompson v. State, 55 Ga. 47 (5).
2. The refusal of the trial judge to give in charge to the jury the instrue
3. A juror who has served as a grand or traverse juror at any session of a superior, county, or city court is ineligible for duty as a juror at the next succeeding term of such court, except that a traverse juror may serve as a grand juror at the next term of the superior' court, and except further that this ineligibility does not exist in a county where the grand-jury box contains not more than one hundred names and the petit-jury box contains not more than three hundred and fifty names. Penal Code (1910), § 824; Acts 1911, p. 72; 6 Park’s Code, § 824. But this principle only disqualifies a juror for service at the next succeeding term after he has served at the preceding term. So where a grand juror served at the March term, 1927, of Morgan superior court, and where no grand jury served at the succeeding June term, 1927, of that court, such grand juror was eligible to serve as a traverse juror at the September term, 1927, of that court, and the trial judge did not err in so holding.
4. The verdict is supported by evidence.
Judgment affirmed.
