Court of Appeals of Georgia November 6, 1998, A98A2356 (Joyce v. State)

Blackburn, Judge.

Jamie C. Joyce appeals his convictions for kidnapping and sexual battery, following a jury trial, contending that the prosecutor violated the provisions of OCGA § 17-8-76 (a) in his closing argument to the jury and the trial court committed reversible error by not granting his concomitant request for a mistrial pursuant to OCGA § 17-8-76 (b).
