Boatright v. State

Court of Appeals of Georgia

Decided May 29, 1979No. 57719PublishedCited by 5 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

Underwood, Judge.

Jack Boatright appeals his conviction of selling marijuana. We affirm.

1. In enumeration of error 1 Boatright contends that the court erred in allowing in evidence hearsay statements related by the law enforcement officers. However, the court admitted the statements for the limited purpose of explaining the officers’ conduct in going to certain locations, or "meets,” as a result of the conversations, and the jury was instructed accordingly. Consequently no reversible error appears. Code Ann. § 38-302; Harrell v. State, 241 Ga. 181 (243 SE2d 890) (1978).
