Jones v. State , 184 Ga. App. 4 ( 1987 )


Menu:
  • Sognier, Judge,

    concurring specially.

    I must concur in Division 2 of the majority opinion in light of the controlling precedent of Spence v. State, 238 Ga. 399 (233 SE2d 363) (1977). Having no doubt as to the truthfulness and the sincerity of the answers of the questioned juror sub judice, nevertheless, I must express my disagreement in principle with a practice that would allow the daughter or other close relative of the arresting officer to sit on the jury trying the arrestee. Courts are admonished not only to do justice but to give the appearance thereof.
