State, A10A1604, Georgia Court of Appeals, August 4th, 2010, DUI appealed from Gwinnett State Court Friday, July 30, 2010
Georgia criminal law prohibits multiple convictions or successive prosecutions for the same conduct under OCGA § 16-1-7 (b): "If the several crimes arising from the same conduct are known to the proper prosecuting officer at the time of commencing the prosecution and are within the jurisdiction of a single court, they must be prosecuted in a single prosecution." Chandler argued that because the Gwinnett County Solicitor's Office prosecutes DUIs in both Gwinnett County State Court and Gwinnett County Recorders Court that knowledge of the resolution of the following too close should be implied to the prosecutors. The Georgia Court of Appeals disagreed and held where, the traffic citation was issued by a police officer, filed in recorder's court, and disposed of at the clerk's office without the intervention of a prosecuting officer or a judge there is no actual knowledge imputed to the prosecutor to successfully bar a DUI on double jeopardy grounds. It found that a double jeopardy claim can only succeed if the crimes are actually known and not constructively known to the prosecutor actually handling the claim. And you thought that was the end of the matter? more STATE v. FEN YUE TAN,A10A0687,Court of Appeals of Georgia, Decided: July 8, 2010. Thursday, July 08, 2010
