Court of Appeals of Georgia June 11, 2003, A03A1351 (Bradford v. State)

Michael Eugene Bradford was found guilty by a jury of shoplifting. His sole claim on appeal is that the trial court should have granted his motion for a mistrial made on grounds that the State improperly placed his character into evidence. For the following reasons, we find the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion for mistrial and affirm.
