Zamora v. State

Beasley, Judge,

concurring specially.

I am compelled to concur because of the controlling whole court case of Dean v. State, 177 Ga. App. 123 (338 SE2d 711) (1985). However, relegating these cases to the probation revocation category, where permission to appeal is required, denies the right to appeal to a first offender who becomes adjudicated guilty of the crime and sentenced to incarceration. Defendants should not lose this valuable right as a consequence of first offender treatment.
