Bradford v. State

Supreme Court of Georgia

1Opinion of the Court

Melton, Justice.

Following a jury trial, Shannon Bradford appeals her convictions in Dawson County for conspiracy to traffic amphetamine, trafficking amphetamine, and conspiracy to traffic methamphetamine. Bradford contends that the trial court erred by: (1) denying her plea in bar based on double jeopardy; (2) finding that Georgia’s conspiracy statute, OCGA § 16-4-8, is not unconstitutionally vague; (3) denying her motion for a continuance; and (4) failing to merge certain counts of the indictment. Because the trial court erred by denying Bradford’s motion for a continuance, we reverse.
