Court of Appeals of Georgia February 16, 1998, A97A1832 (Blackwell v. State)

Smith, Judge.

Linton Blackwell appeals from the trial court’s denial of his plea of former jeopardy. We conclude that the trial court correctly denied the plea because neither Blackwell’s Fifth and Fourteenth Amendment rights under the United States Constitution nor his rights under OCGA §§ 16-1-7 (b) and 16-1-8 were violated. We therefore affirm the trial court’s ruling.
