HUNTER v. DEAN

32401.

240 Ga. 214 (1977)

239 S.E.2d 791

HUNTER v. DEAN et al.

Supreme Court of Georgia.

Decided November 28, 1977.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

C. Michael Abbott, for appellant.

John R. Irwin, District Attorney, Arthur K. Bolton, Attorney General, B. Dean Grindle, Jr., Assistant Attorney General, for appellees.

MARSHALL, Justice.

This appeal is from the denial of a petition for writ of habeas corpus by the Superior Court of Terrell County. The appeal was granted to consider whether the probation of a jail sentence may constitutionally be conditioned upon the payment of a fine in a lump sum when the defendant is indigent and unable to make immediate payment of the fine. We affirm the trial court.

Petitioner, Jacquelyn Hunter, and a co-defendant
