Stinson v. State

Blackburn, Chief Judge.

Willie L. Stinson was convicted by a jury for trafficking in cocaine. Following the denial of his motion for new trial, he appeals his conviction, arguing that the trial court erred in: (1) not suppressing evidence of an illegal search and seizure; (2) not declaring a mistrial when impermissible character evidence was introduced into testimony; and (3) admitting a prior conviction into evidence. For the reasons set forth below, we affirm.

1. Stinson contends that the trial court erred in not suppressing evidence of an illegal search and seizure. We disagree.
