Thomas v. State

Court of Appeals of Georgia

1Opinion of the Court

Beasley, Judge.

Thomas was arrested after the execution of a search warrant at his home yielded cocaine, marijuana, substantial currency, and a gun. He was charged with, and convicted by a jury of, possession of cocaine and marijuana with intent to distribute and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

He complains on appeal that the conviction is based on illegally seized evidence, that the motion to suppress should have been granted because there was no probable cause to issue the search warrant. He also asserts that the court unlawfully restricted his direct examination of a witness.
