Marshall v. State

Quillian, Judge.

The defendant was tried and convicted for the offense of carrying a concealed weapon. While the defendant was being "processed” in the Fulton County Jail, a search was made of his person and a knife was found concealed in his belt.

Prior to the trial the defendant made a motion to suppress on the grounds that his rights under the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 14th Amendments to the United States Constitution were violated by the search. By stipulation the hearing on the motion and the trial were conducted simultaneously. Compare Barnett v. State, 123 Ga. App. 369 (180 SE2d 921), and cits.
