Howerton v. Danenberg green

2006This is so because “the defense attorneys were subject to the encumbrance that the prosecutor might take umbrage at a vigorous defense of the defendant and dispense with the services of their firm.” (Citation and punctuation omitted.) Id. *296 Here, there was no representation of both the defendant and the prosecutor, and no concurrence of trial counsel’s involvement with them.

Glass v. Byrom green
gactapp · 1978
2 sentences

1983While any one of the foregoing circumstances, in and of itself, might not be sufficient to support a finding that appellant had waived its insufficiency of service of process defense (see, e.g., Glass v. Byrom, 146 Ga. App. 1 ( 245 SE2d 345 ) (1978)), we conclude that when considered as a whole, as the trial court did here, no other reasonable explanation of appellant's conduct in this case is possible.
