Supreme Court of Georgia April 29, 1982, 38281 (Thomas v. State)

Smith, Justice.

Appellant was convicted of murder and received a life sentence. One of the members of the jury that convicted appellant had served on the grand jury which considered the bill of indictment against appellant, and had been a participant in the return of the true bill. Appellant contends this circumstance entitles him to a new trial. We agree and reverse.
