State v. Handspike

Hall, Justice,

dissenting.

I dissent from the grant of certiorari and the reversal of the judgments of the trial court and the Court of Appeals.

This is a routine search and seizure case and for this reason I find no reason for the grant of certiorari. If I had been a member of the Court of Appeals in this case, I would have voted with the dissenting judges of that court to reverse the ruling of the trial judge. However, as a member of the Supreme Court, I find no matter of great public concern or gravity and importance. Rule 36 (J) Rules of the Supreme Court of the State of Georgia, effective December 1,1975. See my dissenting opinion in Atlanta Coca-Cola Bottling Co. v. Jones, 236 Ga. 448, 451 (224 SE2d 25) (1976).
