Defendant was convicted of selling more than 100 pounds of marijuana and sentenced to eight years and a fine. He applied for bond pending appeal and the trial court held a hearing in accordance
In a Birge hearing the trial court is the finder of fact and an appellate court will not reverse unless such determination is clearly erroneous. See, High v. State, 233 Ga. 153 (210 SE2d 673); Woodruff v. State, 233 Ga. 840, 844 (213 SE2d 689); Jones v. State, 243 Ga. 820, 826 (256 SE2d 907). The trial court found that defendant did not meet three of the four Birge requirements for release. The findings are supported by the evidence and are not clearly erroneous.
Judgment affirmed.
