Anglin v. Stategreen2 sentences1991While such a reservation is sufficient to attack charges given or refused, it is not adequate to maintain an objection under OCGA § 17-8-57. “ ‘ “The question of whether [OCGA § 17-8-57] has been violated is not reached unless an objection or motion for mistrial is made.” Therefore, this enumeration of error is without merit.’ Driggers v.

Price v. State

2 sentences1991Although it would not have been error for the trial court to give an instruction even more favorable to the defendant, to the effect that when circumstantial evidence supports both a theory of guilt and a theory of innocence the law compels the acceptance of the theory of innocence, see Price v. State, 180 Ga. App. 215 (2) ( 348 SE2d 740 ) (1986), it cannot be said the trial counsel’s failure to request such an instruction shows defendant was denied effective assistance of counsel. 1991Although it would not have been error for the trial court to give an instruction even more favorable to the defendant, to the effect that when circumstantial evidence supports both a theory of guilt and a theory of innocence the law compels the acceptance of the theory of innocence, see Price v.
