OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

Former Code 1933, § 38-9901 (see now O.C.G.A. § 16-10-96) was extremely broad and all inclusive and, provided only that the person so personated or represented might suffer damage, loss, or injury, the statute applied whether the true identity of the impersonator was discovered before, during, or after arraignment, trial, and conviction on other charges. 1954-56 Op. Att'y Gen. p. 128.
