State v. Roman (nine Cases)

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia denied the petitions for certiorari in nine related criminal cases. Justice Pinson, joined by two justices, explained in a concurrence that certiorari requires both a legally significant question and a question actually presented and necessary to resolving the case; he viewed the Court of Appeals decision as limited to the remedy for an appearance of impropriety. Three justices dissented from the denial, but no separate-opinion record was supplied for extraction.
