“In Georgia, once the trial judge has conducted a Jackson v. Denno hearing and found the confession voluntary by a preponderance of the evidence, as [she] did here, it may go to the jury without the “preponderance of the evidence” instruction contended for when no such instruction was requested. [Cits.] There is no constitutional barrier to this procedure: “We . . . reject petitioner’s final contention that, even though the trial judge ruled in his coercion claim, he was en titled to have the jury decide the claim anew.” Lego v. Twomey, 404 U. S. 477, 489 (1972). [Jackson v. State, 239 Ga. 449, 450 (3) ( 238 SE2d 31 ) (1977).]”
