Supreme Court of Georgia May 1, 2000, S99G1612 (Buice v. State)

Hunstein, Justice.

We granted Abe Lee Buice’s petition for writ of certiorari to consider whether a trial court may vacate an order of nolle prosequi and permit the State to try the defendant on the nol prossed indictment without seeking a new indictment from the grand jury. For the reasons set forth, we affirm the Court of Appeals.

Buice v. State,

239 Ga. App. 52 (1) (520 SE2d 258) (1999).
