HODGE v. STATE

30273.

235 Ga. 846 (1976)

221 S.E.2d 596

HODGE et al. v. THE STATE.

Supreme Court of Georgia.

Decided January 8, 1976.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Alexis, Douglass & Young, Orion L. Douglass, for appellants.

Dewey Hayes, District Attorney, Arthur K. Bolton, Attorney General, G. Stephen Parker, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.

GUNTER, Justice.

This appeal is by three appellants who were tried together and convicted by a jury. The only error enumerated here is that the district attorney, during his closing argument to the jury, made several improper remarks on the failure of the appellants to take the stand and testify. Appellants rely primarily on Griffin v. California, 380 U.S. 609 (1965) and Spann v. State, 126 Ga.App. 370
