State v. Blosfield

Quillian, Presiding Judge.

The State appeals from the sustaining of a motion to suppress certain evidence arising out of an accusation of shoplifting. Held:

1. The defendant contends the appeal should be dismissed because the order was not a final judgment as defined by Code Ann § 6-701 (a) (1) (Ga. L. 1965; as amended through Ga. L. 1979, pp. 619, 620) and the State failed to make application to this court for interlocutory review under Code Ann. § 6-701 (a) (2).

Code Ch. Ann. 6-10A treats with the State’s right to appeal in criminal cases. Code Ann. § 6-1002a (Ga. L. 1973, pp. 297, 298)…
