Collins v. State

Court of Appeals of Georgia

245 S.E.2d 488 (Ga. Ct. App. 1978)

Opinion

55570.

SUBMITTED APRIL 3, 1978.

DECIDED JUNE 6, 1978.

Drug violation. Ware Superior Court. Before Judge Holton.

Dennis J. Strickland, Sr., August F. Siemon, III, for appellant.

Dewey Hayes, District Attorney, M. C. Pritchard, Assistant District Attorney, for appellee.


We affirm appellant's conviction on five counts of selling drugs in violation of the Georgia Controlled Substances Act.

1. An objection as to the admissibility of evidence will not be considered for the first time on appeal. Brown v. State, 226 Ga. 114 (3) ( 172 S.E.2d 666) (1970). Enumeration of error number 1 therefore raises nothing for review.

2. "It is never error for a trial court to refuse to charge on a lesser included offense even though requested in writing when the evidence does not reasonably raise the issue that defendant may be only guilty of the lesser crime." Quick v. State, 139 Ga. App. 440, 443 ( 228 S.E.2d 592) (1976). The evidence clearly showed that appellant sold marijuana to an undercover agent, and there is no evidence showing that appellant merely possessed marijuana. Therefore, the court correctly refused the requested charge on the offense of possession of marijuana.

Judgment affirmed. Deen, P. J., and Banke, J., concur.

SUBMITTED APRIL 3, 1978 — DECIDED JUNE 6, 1978.
