ELR Citation: ELR 20114
No(s). 26231 (Ga. Jan 7, 1971)

In a public nuisance action brought against the operator of an animal byproduct processor whose manufacturing processes permit nauseating odors to permeate an area, a claim that the Georgia statute which defines public nuisance is unconstitutionally vague will not be sustained. It is permissible to permit a witness to testify that she moved from the area to avoid the odors, and it is likewise permissible to permit the jury to walk around the outside of the plant while it was in operation. The evidence supported a verdict for the plaintiff, the distric attorney.
