Lee v. State
Court of Appeals of Georgia
1Opinion of the Court
Banke, Presiding Judge.
The appellant was found guilty of misdemeanor theft by taking and was sentenced to six months’ incarceration. She brings this direct appeal from her conviction and sentence. Held:
1. The appellant contends that the evidence was insufficient to support the conviction because the state’s case was based on the uncorroborated testimony of an alleged accomplice. However, “ ‘[i]n numerous decisions our courts have held that corroboration of an accomplice is not necessary to sustain a misdemeanor conviction. (Cits.)’ [Cit.]” Dabney v. State, 154 Ga. App. 355 (2) (268 SE2d 408)…
