State v. Roca
Court of Appeals of Georgia
Decided March 9, 1992No. A91A1496PublishedCited by 8 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
Andrews, Judge.
In its sole enumeration of error, the State claims that the trial court erred in dismissing its case based upon Roca’s plea of double jeopardy.
On November 5, 1989, Roca was arrested and charged with one count of simple battery and an accusation was filed against him on January 22, 1990. The case was called for trial on June 4, 1990, but the State was unable to go forward due to the failure of a witness to appear; no jury was impaneled and the State made a motion for a nolle prosequi. The court denied the motion and entered an order dismissing the case for want of prosecution.
