After this court reversed the conviction of his co-defendant, Ramirez v. State, 190 Ga. App. 889 (380 SE2d 323) (1989), the trial court granted defendant’s motion for new trial. Defendant and his co-defendant were retried and defendant was again convicted. The pertinent facts surrounding defendant’s arrest and subsequent conviction are recited at Ramirez, supra, and will not be re-stated herein.
