Kelley v. State
Supreme Court of Georgia
1Opinion of the Court
Clarke, Justice.
Co-defendants Griffin and Kelley were convicted of murder of Mary Worthy and sentenced to life imprisonment. Both Griffin and Kelley assign as error the trial court’s failure to grant a mistrial requested following remarks by the district attorney during closing argument. In addition, Kelley contends that there was insufficient evidence tp sustain a verdict of guilty in his case because of identification evidence at trial. Kelley further enumerates as error the trial court’s denial of his motion to sever his trial from that of his co-defendant. We affirm.
