EDWARDS v. THE STATE.
62721.
CARLEY, Judge.
Rape, etc. Toombs Superior Court. Before Judge McMillan.
Appellant was indicted, tried and convicted of rape, aggravated sodomy, two counts of kidnapping and motor vehicle theft.
1. Appellant enumerates as error the trial court's refusal on voir dire to excuse two prospective jurors for cause. Appellant was forced to use two of his peremptory challenges to strike these jurors. One of the jurors was the brother of a deputy sheriff who was listed as a witness for the state. The other juror was the brother of a deputy sheriff who was serving as the bailiff of the court. Both prospective jurors were questioned by the court and answered that their fairness and impartiality would not be compromised by their relationships.
State, 247 Ga. 328, 338 (6) (276 SE2d 224) (1981).
2. After a review of the entire record, we find that a rational trior of fact could reasonably have found from the evidence adduced at trial proof of appellant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U. S. 307 (99 SC 2781, 61 LE2d 560) (1979).
H. Reginald Thompson, District Attorney, Robert J. Cropp, Assistant District Attorney, for appellee.
Kenneth D. Kondritzer, for appellant.
DECIDED JANUARY 21, 1982.
