Blige v. State

Fletcher, Justice.

Nathaniel Blige was convicted by a jury of armed robbery, aggravated battery and burglary. He appealed the judgment of conviction and the denial of his motion for new trial to the Court of Appeals where both were affirmed. Blige v. State, 205 Ga. App. 133 (421 SE2d 547) (1992). We granted Blige’s application for a writ of certiorari to consider Div. 6 of the Court of Appeals’ opinion to determine whether the state should be permitted to argue to a jury that a defendant would have called his or her own expert witness if the results of the expert’s testing had been favorable.
