Court of Appeals of Georgia

182 S.E.2d 489 (Ga. Ct. App. 1971)

Opinion

45816.

SUBMITTED MAY 3, 1971.

DECIDED MAY 7, 1971. REHEARING DENIED MAY 26, 1971.

Voluntary manslaughter. Cobb Superior Court. Before Judge Hames.

William Holley, for appellant.

Ben F. Smith, District Attorney, George W. Darden, for appellee.


The defendant after his conviction for voluntary manslaughter moved for a new trial on the general grounds and later amended the motion wherein he added three other grounds. The amended motion was overruled. Defendant appealed to this court from the judgment of conviction and sentence. The defendant has not enumerated as error the overruling of the amended motion for new trial. The enumerated errors are the same grounds contained in the amended motion. The enumerated errors are without merit because the denial of the amended motion for new trial, unappealed, fixed as the law of the case all issues embraced in the motion. Hill v. Willis, 224 Ga. 263, 268 ( 161 S.E.2d 281); Bryan v. State, 224 Ga. 389, 390 ( 162 S.E.2d 349); Tiller v. State, 224 Ga. 645 ( 164 S.E.2d 137).

Judgment affirmed. Bell, C. J., Pannell and Deen, JJ., concur.

SUBMITTED MAY 3, 1971 — DECIDED MAY 7, 1971 — REHEARING DENIED MAY 26, 1971 — CERT. APPLIED FOR.
