Thomas v. State
Court of Appeals of Georgia
1Opinion of the Court
McFadden, Judge.
Davin Thomas appeals his robbery and misdemeanor obstruction convictions, arguing that he was entitled to a mistrial because of the improper admission of character evidence and that the evidence does not support his convictions.
