Johnson v. State

Quillian, Judge.

The defendant was indicted, tried and convicted for the offense of theft by receiving stolen property. He appeals to this court. Held:

1. The defendant contends that when charging as to the inference of guilt in conjunction with other evidence the trial judge should have expressly referred to scienter.

A consideration of the charge as a whole shows it to be fair and completely covers the principles of law involved. See Gaskin v. State, 119 Ga. App. 593, 595 (168 SE2d 183); Higginbotham v. State, 124 Ga. App. 489 (3) *769(184 SE2d 231).
