STATE v. JONES

A90A1838.

197 Ga. App. 353 (1990)

398 S.E.2d 865

THE STATE v. JONES.

Court of Appeals of Georgia.

Decided October 22, 1990.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Joseph H. Briley, District Attorney, James L. Cline, Jr., Assistant District Attorney, for appellant.

H. Samuel Atkins, Jr., for appellee.

BANKE, Presiding Judge.

The state brings this appeal from an order granting the defendant's motion for a directed verdict of acquittal in a prosecution for selling cocaine. "The government cannot appeal such a directed verdict of acquittal, even if it is erroneously granted." State v. Williams, 246 Ga. 788, 789 (272 S.E.2d 725) (1980). The appeal is therefore dismissed.

Appeal dismissed...
