Parrott v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseJimmy Parrott was convicted for, among other things, fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer in violation of OCGA 40-6-395(b)(5). After his initial probationary sentence for that offense was deemed void, he was resentenced to five years in prison. Parrott appealed that resentencing, challenging the constitutionality of the sentencing provision of OCGA 40-6-395(b)(5) under the Equal Protection Clause. Parrott also contended his resentencing violated the constitutional prohibition on double jeopardy. After review of the trial court record, the Georgia Supreme Court found no reversible error and affirmed.
