Whitley v. State

Carley, Chief Judge.

Appellant was indicted for unlawfully selling marijuana and was found guilty after a jury trial. He now appeals from the judgment of conviction and sentence entered by the trial court on the guilty verdict.

1. Some two and a half months subsequent to the sale of marijuana which underlay the instant prosecution, marijuana was seized from motor vehicles and the curtilage of the house where the sale had previously taken place. Over appellant’s objection, the trial court held that this subsequent discovery of marijuana on the premises was admissible “similar crimes” evidence.
