Brown v. State
Court of Appeals of Georgia
1Opinion of the Court
Beasley, Judge.
Nancy S. Brown was indicted, convicted by a jury, and sentenced for the offense of conspiracy to defraud the State. She appeals from the judgment and from the overruling of her motion for new trial.
1. Defendant claims that the repetitive nature of the charge directing the jury to reach a verdict, especially since it did not remind the jurors not to surrender conscientiously held minority opinions constituted undue pressure or coercion on the jury. If she is correct, the fairness of her trial could have been infected. Anderson v. State, 247 Ga. 397, 401 (3) (276 SE2d 603) (1981).
