Annotations
Applicability to public employees. —
Habeas court erred in finding that O.C.G.A. § 16-10-23 was vague and ambiguous as applied to a person charged with impersonating an employee of the Department of Family and Children Services; the statute clearly gave notice that the statute applied to public employees as well as public officers, and the statute’s purpose was served by including employees. Kennedy v. Carlton, 294 Ga. 576, 757 S.E.2d 46, 2014 Ga. LEXIS122 (2014).
