2015Likewise, in Davis v. State, 168 Ga. App. 272, 275 (8) ( 308 SE2d 602 ) (1983), this court upheld a similar jury charge, concluding that “ [t] he trial judge’s instructions could not have caused the jury to misunderstand the burden of proof resting upon the state.” (Citations and punctuation omitted.)
