Evans v. State

Miller, Judge.

Following a jury trial, Kelvin Lanier Evans a/k/a Kevin Lee Woods was convicted of one count of entering an automobile (OCGA § 16-8-18) and one count of attempt to enter an automobile1 (OCGA §§ 16-4-1; 16-8-18). Evans appeals from the denial of his motion for a new trial, contending that the trial court erred in: (1) admitting certain similar transaction evidence; (2) restricting Evans’s voir dire of prospective jurors; and (3) refusing to grant a mistrial after striking evidence of at least five similar incidents from the record. For the reasons that follow, we affirm.
