Supreme Court of Georgia January 10, 2005, S04A1654, S04A1805 (Grant v. State)

Fletcher, Chief Justice.

These two appeals arise out of the pending death penalty prosecution of Aundra Dermaine Grant. For the reasons set out below, we conclude that the trial court erred by removing Grant’s existing co-counsel, and we reverse the trial court’s order imposing contempt sanctions on Grant’s lead counsel.
