Newton v. State

Miller, Judge.

Following a jury trial, Donald E Newton was convicted of criminal attempt to manufacture methamphetamine (OCGA §§ 16-13-30 (b), 16-4-1). Newton filed a motion for new trial, which the trial court denied. Newton appeals, contending that the trial court erred in admitting his prior drug conviction as similar transaction evidence, and in denying his motion to suppress evidence seized as a result of a search warrant issued without sufficient probable cause. Discerning no error, we affirm.

Viewed in the light most favorable to the jury’s verdict, see Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U. S.…
