Gordon v. State

Supreme Court of Georgia

Decided September 8, 1987No. 44269PublishedCited by 13 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

Gregory, Justice.

Murray Gordon was convicted in DeKalb Superior Court on a three count indictment. He appealed to the Court of Appeals where his conviction on all three counts was affirmed. Gordon v. State, 181 Ga. App. 391 (352 SE2d 582) (1986). We granted certiorari as to an issue relating only to the two counts involving theft by taking, and not to the third count involving conspiracy to defraud. We affirm in part and reverse in part.

The issue is whether the evidence supports the conviction in light of proof required under Georgia’s theft by taking statute, OCGA § 16-8-2.
