Lewis v. State
Court of Appeals of Georgia
1Opinion of the Court
Deen, Presiding Judge.
David E. Lewis appeals from his conviction of rape and aggravated sodomy, and his sentence of twenty years on each offense to be served concurrently. Five years are to be served in a state penitentiary and the balance on probation.
1. Appellant contends that the trial court erred in allowing, over objection, impeachment evidence in the form of a prior conviction for the sale of cocaine as to one of his witnesses, because it is not a crime involving moral turpitude. " ' In its legal sense it includes everything done contrary to justice, honesty, or good morals . . . ’
