Supreme Court of Georgia November 7, 1978, 34041 (Cook v. State)

Hill, Justice.

Joe B. Cook was found guilty of murder of his wife and was sentenced by the court to life in prison. One of his enumerations of error warrants discussion. He contends that it was a violation of Code Ann. § 59-718.1 to permit the jury to disperse during the presentation of the state’s case in chief at the sentencing trial in this capital case.
