201 Ga. App. 93 (1991)

410 S.E.2d 193

CANTRELL v. THE STATE.

Court of Appeals of Georgia.

Decided September 3, 1991.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Leslie J. Cardin, for appellant.

Thomas C. Lawler III, District Attorney, R. Keith Miles, Debra K. Turner, Assistant District Attorneys, for appellee.


BEASLEY, Judge.

Following the denial of his motion for new trial, Cantrell appeals his conviction for burglary, OCGA § 16-7-1 (a).

1. Appellant contends that the trial court erred in denying a mistrial on the grounds that a police officer impermissibly placed appellant's character into evidence by first testifying that he had previous dealings with appellant and then by repeatedly referring to appellant as the person who "committed the crime."
