Griffin v. State

Beasley, Judge.

Convicted of possession of less than one ounce of marijuana (OCGA § 16-13-2 (b)), defendant appeals on the ground that the trial court erred in denying his motion to suppress the marijuana. His arrest and the search and the seizure of the marijuana are articulated to be in violation of the 1983 Ga. Const. Art. I, Sec. I, Pars. I, II & XIII and the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution. Based upon the cases cited, the defendant’s argument is narrowed to the contention that the state lacked probable cause within the meaning of the federal constitution.
